  • Reviews

  • “These were very good, thou I didmade many changes.I used 1 onion and used Bratswurst from Wisconsin instead of Italian sausage.I also did not use any tomato sauce,ketchup or tomato paste.I used beef broth instead.I also did not use sour cream! I did use wine,but only in my glass to drink!Before baking I spread out all the remaing cabbage across the top to keep the moisture in the cabbage rolls.”

  • “This was excellent and easy to make. I omitted the ketchup but I don’t think it changed the overall taste.Thanks for posting.”
