(Cook’s note: I never use rice when I make my Polish stuffed cabbage rolls, but for this recipe, I tried it with about 1/2 bag of the 90 second microwave wild rice mixed into the beef. I combine a new idea for the casserole, with an old, traditional Galumpki recipe from another recipe that I have posted for Polish stuffed cabbage rolls. I love traditional Galumpkis, but they are a pain in the ass to make! This is the best of both worlds and is a keeper recipe!)
