    Venison Cabbage Rolls are much like a regular cabbage roll, except for the fact that I used ground venison in place of the ground beef. These simple to make and delicious comfort food rolls match wonderfully with creamy mashed potatoes, making it a warm and comforting winter meal!

    I, unlike a lot of kids, used to love cabbage rolls.  I remember my mom making them and putting them in the oven.  This recipe is also different from I knew how they were mad.  These Venison Cabbage Rolls are simmered on the stove top.  Now that may not seem different to some of you, but to me it was. I never knew anyone to do anything but bake them.

    I prepped my leaves differently than the recipe stated after posting on facebook that I had no idea how to get the leaves off the cabbage with out ripping the tarnation out of them.  Thanks to Suzanne from Thru the Bugs on my Windshield, I learned I could use the microwave!  I remember my mom blanching them on the stove like they instruct you to do in the recipe I found, but didn't know how she did it to get perfect leaves or at least, what I thought were perfect. After doing this myself, I'm pretty sure hers had some rips and tears too!

    If you want some good, old fashioned comfort food, make up a big bowl of mashed potatoes and simmer some of these yummy Venison Cabbage Rolls on your stovetop!

      I take the core out of the cabbage and then put them in freezer bags and freeze. When you are ready to make your cabbage rolls, take the cabbage out the day before and let it thaw. Leaves will be more easier to work with.
