Unstuffed Cabbage Roll

Description

An unstuffed cabbage roll is a deconstructed version of the traditional dish, combining all the classic ingredients in a single pot, skillet, or casserole dish without the time-consuming process of boiling, stuffing, and rolling individual cabbage leaves. It offers the same hearty, comforting flavors with significantly less effort, making it a popular weeknight meal.
