Grandma's Meatballs & Cabbage

     Many years ago my grandma became frustrated with stuffing the meat into the cabbage, only to find it fell apart and made a big mess. She decided to make a deconstructed version and it came out great. She has been making it ever since.
     This year, I am having some family over for the Jewish Holidays, so I decided to take Grandma's recipe for a spin.

The best Grandma !
