Do you have a family recipe that was passed down from generation to generation in your family?

In my family a favorite recipe that has been passed down from my great grandmother who was from poland is for Golumpki’s and boy are they yummy.

Please feel free to share your favorite recipe that has been passed down the generation that you now make.

My recipe for Golumpki’s is below

1 lbs of salt pork
2 lbs of ground beef
2 cups of cooked rice
black pepper to taste
1 – 2 heads of cabbage depending on size and par boiled
fresh peeled tomatoes or 1 – 2 cans of whole tomatoes

Dice salt pork up into small pieces then put in a frying pan and cook till golden brown and crispy. Take cooked rice and hamburger and mix them together and add the salt pork to the rice and hamburger mixture. Put pepper to taste into the hamburger, rice and salt pork mixture.

Crush some tomatoes with your hands into the bottom of a roasting pan with a layer of cabbage leaves. Then begin rolling golumpki’s by taking one leaf of cabbage and a small amount of hamburger mixture and put into the middle. Wrap the cabbage around the mixture by taking the top flap where the bigger end of the spine of the cabbage is and fold down then take each side and fold in then take the bottom of the leaf and roll it around all pieces. Place it into the pan and repeat the process, when you fill the bottom layer then put some whole tomatoes crushed in your hands on top of the mixture and begin another layer. Keep making them until you are out of filling and/or leaves. Top all of them off with whole tomatoes crushed in your hands.

Take pan of golumpki’s and cover then place them into a 350 degree heated oven for about an hour or more if you have double or tripled the recipe.
