This was wonderful...it reminds me of my MIL's recipe...although she doesn't use milk/water with the flour for gravy...she just has the cabbage rolls with touches of water and beef cubes added...the only thing I would change would be the amount of salt...the salt loving hubby even thought it was a bit salty...so that means...I thought it was too salty...made this for "What's on the Menu" tag game...
