I love cabbage of all types regardless of how it’s prepared. Stuffed cabbage leaves is one of those recipes that my mom has made for years—50 of them to be exact! They’re really quite simple to make, and the meat and sauce combination really showcases the tender cabbage leaves. We usually serve the stuffed leaves with mashed potatoes using the sauce that cabbage leaves are cooked in as gravy.
