I grew up eating halupkies, as my family called them. Many say cabbage rolls, blind pigeons, etc. I wanted a taste of the past, so I found this recipe on the coal region web site. I changed it up with a little cajun seasoning and a can of ro-tel.
Halupkies - Stuffed cabbage
rolls 1 head of cabbage (about 3 lbs)

In a skillet, add ground meats, onions, shortening, salt and pepper, and fry slowly for about 15 minutes.
