1 Review of Cabbage Rolls

I just wanted to try a different cabbage roll other than mine and chose this one. The sauce is pretty similar to mine and that tasted real good. But I am sorry neither of us liked the rolls at all. The only thing different I did was use 1/2 lb of ground beef and 1/2 lb pork, plus I used the savoy cabbage. First I thought it was a little short on the cooking time but went with it anyways. I had put spare cabbage leaves on top of rolls so they wouldn't burn and then I covered in aluminum foil for about 40 minutes. Then removed the cover and the leaves and basted a couple of times for remaining cooking time. But when we ate them I found the cabbage not quite cooked at the stem ends and there was way too many onions and way too much rice, that it made the rolls very dry with only a taste of those two ingredients. Even with the sauce to dip each bite into , it was just way to dry for us. I don't ever like to waste food but I did not keep all these leftovers. I am so sorry Northern Polar, I have never given a bad review before I don't think. But if you could check just to be sure these are the right amounts of ingredients for the rolls. As I said the sauce was excellent, the adding of the hot sauce was wonderful.
