Very good! I had extra of the meat mixture so I slow cooked it in a pot with a little of the broth and added in nice chunks of pumpkin (the small green ones just to clarify) and that was my preview to the finished cabbage rolls. Wow!, that was so good! So about half way through the cabbage roll cooking process I added some chunks of pumpkin to that as well. This will be my go-to for cabbage rolls now. Thank you so much for sharing this!

This was very good. Makes a great big pan! Easy to follow directions. The leftovers freeze and re-heat well. Thanks Kasia - you ROCK!
