Feeding the Fab 5 for less than $15

By the "Fab 5" I mean my 5 children not including me and the hubs. We have to eat too! So for less than $15 we get a yummy healthy meal! Tonight I made Polish Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (galabki). Sounds difficult to make but it was easy AND fun! So, let's get to it!

1 pound ground beef, browned
1 onion chopped
2 cups white rice cooked
1t garlic powder
1/2 t sea salt
1/2 t ground black pepper
1 egg

1 head of cabbage
1 can tomato soup

First, cut the head off the cabbage. Using a large pot, fill with 2 inches of water and place the cabbage head down in the water. Salt water a little and bring to a boil and cover. Steam this way for about 10 minutes.

While steaming, brown beef. Then in a large mixing bowl mix beef, chopped onion, egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper. For a little kick I added a squirt of chili paste. Mix well.

When cabbage is soft, dump hot water in sink leaving cabbage in the pot. Add cold after and flip cabbage to allow water to fill the head.

Now you are ready to fill the cabbage rolls. Take a piece of cabbage and cut the hard top off. Then spoon in filling making nice and full. Wrap like a pillow and place seam down on the Pyrex dish. Repeat this step until Pyrex is full. Do not stack. Then top with the can of tomato soup and spread to cover. Bake on 350 degrees for 30 min.

Kids rate this one A+!!!! Everyone loved it and it is gone! Enjoy it! :)
