These classic cabbage rolls are the same Grandma used to make and only take 20 minutes to prep.
Now, we’ve played around with the classic cabbage roll – also sometimes called “golumpkis” or, in Polish, gołąbki – before, with our Cabbage Roll Soup and Lazy Crock-Pot Golumpkis. We thought it was time, though, that we finally whipped some up the classic way, with some perfect meatballs wrapped in cabbage leaves and baked in a casserole dish. Take a look at how we perfected them, then read on for the full recipe so you can warm up with them, too.
