Special Precautions and Tips:

• If the cabbage leaves are too thick, you can cut the tough veins around the center of the leaf to make them easier to roll.
• To prevent the cabbage rolls from sticking, line the baking dish with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
• If the dish becomes too dry during baking, add additional beef broth or water.
• Let the cabbage rolls rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
