Dirty Rice Stuffed Cabbage

              This last week has been so hectic, with around getting school supplies and being a personal chauffeur for my 9yr old & a 7 month old that is a mama's baby I haven't gotten a moment to sit and blog. I do want to keep up as much as I can so here goes tonight I made Dirty Rice (I used to love Popeye's dirty rice I thought that it would be a great stuffing for cabbage). From the comments of my family over dinner they enjoyed it very much so. 

INGREDIENTS

MEAT

1 lb Ground Beef ( I used 1/2 93% and 1/2 80% Lean)

3 Tablespoons Paprika

2 Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

3 Tablespoons Cajun Seasonings  

1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt

1 Teaspoon Cracker Pepper

4 Tablespoon for Chief brand Green Seasoning (Making homemade - Blend Garlic, Thyme, Onion, Scallions until you get a smooth paste)

• Mixed and let set the fridge while prepping other ingredients

3 Cups of Cooked Brown Rice

1/2 Chopped Onion

1 Stem of Scallion, chopped finely 

• Add oil to pot and heat on med to high, add ground beef and continually stir and break up into tiny pieces, Add onion and scallion continue to stir and cook.  

• After about 5mins of cooking meat, once browned and no longer seeing pink, stir in cooked rice 

• Once rice and ground beef is combined and cook, turn off heat and set aside. 

CABBAGE ROLLS

8 Whole leave of cabbage boiled for 15 mins, strained and cut down along stems

1 Can of Diced Tomatoes 

• Layout each leaf and place 2-3 tablespoons of dirty rice filling, fold ends in as you roll 

• Once rolled up, place in baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray
• After all rolls are done, pour diced tomatoes on top, sprinkle oregano and bake at 350 degrees for 45mins.
