I love this recipe. I have made it several times and my family loves it. I add a little bit more of the cayenne, it gives it a little more kick. I highly recommend this one:)

We really like cabbage rolls but they are so much work. I thought this would have the same great flavor with less effort. We were both disappointed. I'm glad I only made half the recipe.

I made this for the first time today and served it to my Daughter and Son-in-law.

My son-in-law doesn't like cabbage but he had

two helpings.

This was very good. I made a few changes based on what I had on hand, using tomato soup instead of sauce (I also added it every layer), and I used a mixed shredded italian cheese instead of just mozzerella. It got rav reviews, though I think some sauerkraut will give it some extra kick next time. I halved the recipe, and it was enough for two nights of dinners, plus one lunch, for my husband and myself. Very yummy.

I pour sauerkraut over the top and instead of adding the bacon in I lay several uncooked slices across the top. Cook covered for the first half then uncover. Simple delicious and easy!

I have made a dish similar to this and yes it can be frozen

I made this tonight for my husband and myself. Instead of shredding the cabbage, I peeled off the leaves, microwaved them until tender, and layered them whole, lasagna-style. It worked out great, and really made us think of cabbage rolls. As my husband says, "It's a keeper!"

This is an excellent recipe. I prepared half the recipe for my husband & I and baked in an 11"X7" pan. Does anyone know if the leftovers can be frozen successfully?

This was great! I also added a can of Sauerkraut to the raw cabbage and it gave it some added "german" flavor. A definite repeat!
