Stuffed Cabbage Rolls were one of my Grandma’s specialty dishes. I remember her fondly making them in her black speckled roasting pan, which made its appearance for some of my favorite, homestyle dishes. I have since learned that the black speckled pan is called a Granite Ware Roaster! This lightened up version of Cabbage Rolls is not only easy, but the rice is optional!
