  1. Fixed this for dinner tonight and the family all agreed it is one we definitely want to have again. I mixed up the recipe and put all the onions in the broth at the beginning and had none left to mix with the meat. It was still excellent. Try a little spoonful of sour cream on the top when served--yummy.
     
  2. I boil cabbage until tender, remove from water let drain cool. core cabbage.Using meat mixture a add enough beef and place on cabbage leaf roll with tucked end place down in pot covered with cabbage leaves(so piggies don't burn) make rows of piggies, cover each row with tomato soup. Cook until tender /done about and hour. Serve, enjoy. the tomato soup mixed with the juices from piggies is exceptional.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7. I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
