I found this recipe in one of my Grandma Busch's cookbooks that I inherited. I started making cabbage rolls the first year I was married. When my husband's sister got married, I catered her wedding and she asked me to make them for the reception. I made about 600 of these and there were no leftovers. I guess that tells you that they were well loved. Today I only make 6 at a time unless I am in a cook and freeze mode. They freeze well. I don't top them with the sauce until they are defrosted and ready to pop into the oven. Again a recipe from my grandma with tomato soup.
