I used this recipe as a guide to making quick halupki without having to roll the cabbage, I changed it up by using crushed tomatoes instead of soup and added a splash of vinegar to the tomatoes and some crushed bacon to get a more traditional flavor.

it had no taste! Even with using half the bottle of dressing the recipe will not have a repeat performance in my home - it was bland. I dont' recommend it.

This was a wonderful recipe to put together. I was worried since I was only cooking for two when I only bought one head of cabbage it would not be enough. But it turned out otherwise. There is still a flavor missing. It verges on sweet and sour cabbage tastes. But I will definitely make this one again. Would be great for pot luck dish.

This was good, but just seemed to be missing something. Also, the tomato flavor was a bit overpowering.

This is one of those recipes that will go in with the ones I make regularly. Sometimes I use the cabbage that is bagged for slaw just to make it that much easier to make. I have always loved cabbage rolls so this was pure heaven in my book. I eat it for lunch all week at work when I make this.
