This recipe may not be for everyone, but I LOVE these low-carb cabbage rolls. I’ve been telling you about my sister, Terri, and how she’s doing so good with her low-carb diet, well she's been sending great recipes now and then for me to share with you, and this one is a winner. (Do you need more low-carb recipe ideas or want to read more posts on losing weight?)
Low-Carb Cabbage Rolls
- 1 small head of cabbage
- 1 pound hamburger (where to find healthy meat)
- 1 small chopped onion
- 1 egg
- 1 can of petite tomatoes (drained), or fresh tomatoes, chopped
- Sea salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions:
Combine hamburger, onion, egg and salt & pepper. Put the cabbage in boiling water to separate the leaves.
Put a spoonful of burger mixture into cabbage leaves and roll up, place in a baking dish. When the dish is full, cover with the tomatoes and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Great with sour cream on top. Season with more sea salt and pepper as needed.
Thank you, Sister!
- Here's a similar recipe for cabbage roll soup! It's not as low-carb due to the rice, but you could omit that part. The whole family loves this!

I sort of made a spin on this today. I still had some of the mixture from the low carb sausage balls. I cooked it in a skillet with the tomatoes and cabbage and then finished it off with fresh grated parm. AMAZING and EASY!
Hello,
Just a tip I came across when it comes to cabbage rolls. Instead of boiling the cabbage, waiting for it to cool, pulling it apart, etc….Freeze the head of cabbage. When you defrost it, it is fully wilted and ready to pull apart and stuff. There is a very slight texture difference after baked, but for me, not enough to make up for the savings in time and effort.
Hi,
We had traditional cabbage rolls when we were in the Ukraine, & they were delicious:), You need to put more flavor in the tomato sauce: herbs (basil & oregano), & garlic, too. Yum! Thanks for this recipe. I’m making it tonight!
Perfect timing! I was just thinking a couple of days ago about cabbage rolls and wondering how I could make them so that my husband could eat them. Thanks!
i love this recipe with a little vinegar mixed in with the tomatoes – it adds the perfect complement to the cabbage.
This looks great and super easy to make. Thanks for the idea.
Gosh, your low-carb recipe ideas are such a help. I have my little repertoire of recipes that I go through, and it’s so nice to see some possible variations, because it gets a little boring sometimes :).
