Grandma Roses Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

This recipe is near and dear to my heart, this is my favorite thing my Grandma Rose makes (Besides her Chicken noodle soup!) It taste so old school yet its extremely flavorful and satisfying. Her secret ingredient is her bacon grease she puts it on everything to make it taste better and I think it does! So please when you make this think of Grandma Rose it will make her happy!
