I have tried almost every recipe for stuffed cabbage rolls that I have come across. This is truly a great one. Very different and I don't think the mustard and horseradish make it spicy at all so don't be afraid to try it. I served it with mashed potatos and garlic green beans. Delish!

Great recipe bursting with flavor. Will definitely be cooking this recipe quite often.

Like most cabbage rolls, a lot of prep, but easy and worth the extra time. These are great. I used pork sausage instead of plain ground pork and all of the optional ingredients. I wasn't sure about the Tobasco, but I tasted the sauce and it was a little bland without it so I went ahead and added it. This is the only cabbage roll recipe I've tried that calls for potato, and I thought it was a nice touch. I didn't like these quite as much as my usual cabbage roll recipe, but DH liked them even better. He said these were juicier. I'll make this often. Thanks.
