Where I grew up, if you said "Pigs in a Blanket" were little hot dogs wrapped in dough you would probably get some strange looks. Here is a recipe that I grew up on for pigs in a blanket, or more lovingly called piggies.
Pigs in a Blanket
Ingredients
1 lb ground
pork
1 lb ground
beef
1
onion,
chopped
1 head of
cabbage
3/4 cup uncooked
rice
1
Tbsp salt
1/2
tsp pepper
1 can
stewed tomatoes
1 Tbsp
shortening
Cut the cabbage around the core. Boil cabbage for 5 minutes or so (to loosen leaves) and allow to drain. In a skillet, add the meats, onions, shortening, seasoning, and slowly fry for about 10-15 minutes. Wash rice and add to the meat, mix well.
Remove cabbage leaves. Place a tablespoon (approx.) of the meat mixture in the center of the cabbage leaf and roll. Be sure to tuck the ends in! Place rolls in a dutch oven or pot. Pour stewed tomatoes over the piggies and add enough water to cover. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cook 1 and 1/2 hours.
Enjoy!
