This is one of my favorite Polish dishes. As I am part Polish I grew up with this particular dish that my mother used to make. Not only is it delicious but it is very economical for any family that is watching their grocery bills. Read more It does take quite a bit of time but the effort is worth it. See less

Let me tell you, this had AWESOME flavor, BUT, there was not enough sauce to stand up to the cook time on these. After about 30 minutes my sauce was gone, left with yummy tomato pieces on top though, and some of my cabbage rolls had burned on bottom...more
