Clearly the real deal. Fun fact: my off-the-boat Hungarian grandma used to add a can of Campbell’s tomato soup to her stuffed cabbage and goulash recipes, too! She said it made the sauce “stick” to the food better, and added a hint of sweet.

In reply to Carolann. I also have recipes from my great grandma. The recipes are all in her hand writing. The book is old and the recipes are all ones she used to make. Priceless memories.

Yes, they are better the second day. I discovered the reason by accident. My wife made them from my Mother’s recipe. They were very good the first day. I asked her what she did different from my mom’s. Nothing she said.
The next time she made them I watched. My mm cooked the rice to perfection, but my wife cover cooked her rice, til it was sticky. Mystery solved!
Over the years my wife added sautéed onions and added them to the filling mixture along with the butter from the sautteed onions.
Better than Moms!

I love that you have handwritten recipes from your family.
When my Ma died (she taught me to cook through osmoses ) I got her recipe box. It was special to me because I got to look through and reminisce about family and what was served through the
generations. Some had been updated to typewritten but there was a lot of handwritten. I cherish th the most.
Since then I have asked for handwritten recipes from family members but they always send a link or an email. Not the same.

In reply to Joyce Cason. You won't need to double the recipe.

Oh the memories! I too had 100% Polish grandparents and learned how to make these at a young age. Your recipe is EXACTLY how we made them! 😀

Hello, I am making this recipe for a book club meeting tomorrow. There’s 10 ladies. Would you recommend that I double the recipe I was trying to figure out how many rolls this would make if I would have one or two for each person. There will be other food served. The book we read is called “the book of last names.”
