Found a couple of what I thought were pretty good recipes. I never completely follow recipes, anyway. So here it went. (pic heavy to share and also to remind myself what the heck I did).
Sauce ingredients were all mixed together and then pulsed in blender. Didn't want it pureed 'cause I wanted some texture to the sauce, so used whole Italian Romas in 2 28 oz cans + other goodies, then pulsed.
The goodness. 2 lbs of ground chuck. 1.3 lbs ground pork. And a bunch of other stuff.
First layer of cabbage rolls. Kinda getting it down. A layer of sauce and chopped cabbage is underneath.
2nd layer of cabbage rolls. Another layer of sauce and chopped cabbage underneath.
Final layer of sauce and into the oven at 350 for 1 hour.
