Coledomers

 Cassidy M. brought these to the Family History Activity in Sept 2021

Ingredients:
1 large head of cabbage
2 pounds of raw hamburger
1 cup of rice
2 cups of milk
Sugar
1/2 c. Butter
Salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cut out the hard stem on the bottom of the cabbage, try to not cut too much of the cabbage since you need large leaves to roll.
Steam the cabbage in a large pot by adding a cup or two of water and covering with the lid. Cook until the leaves are soft enough to roll.
Cook the rice in the milk instead of water on simmer.
In a large bowl mix the raw hamburger and cooked rice.
On a cabbage leaf place a large spoonful of the mixture, roll like a burrito and place in a 9x13 dish. Pack the cabbage rolls in there tightly.
Melt the butter and pour evenly over the cabbage rolls. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then sprinkle the white sugar on. The more the better, but NOT until they’re white. Cook for at least 90 minutes. You want them to have a dark crisp on top but not be burned.
