With sauce? Sauce in separate container?

TIA

I freeze without sauce. There will be extra liquid when they are defrosted.

My grandmother always froze it in a container with the sauce. Then, she'd let it defrost and heat it up in the pot.

Sigh. In my house the best way to freeze stuffed cabbage is not to. It's in the long list of things my family won't eat out the freezer.

But to answer your question, in the sauce. My grandmother used to freeze hers in baggies. I think they stay neater in tins. But if in baggies perhaps freeze the bag in the pot you'll be warming the cabbage in so you don't have a shape mismatch?

With the sauce "raw" in the pot or pan you will use to cook it. That is the best way. If you freeze it when it's cooked it becomes watery.

Secret: I make my stuffed cabbage in 9X13 pans, which I freeze, in the sauce, raw. On day of use, I either defrost and then bake, or go from the freezer to the oven in which case I increase the baking time by an hour or so.

Don't tell anyone.

It freezes very well. But the acidic tomato sauce can react with the aluminum pan and even eat holes in it. That is why I line the aluminum pans with parchment paper and sort of wrap the parchment paper over the top before covering with foil.

Freezes very well. I freeze raw rolls without sauce (stays really neat). Or baked/cooked rolls with sauce.
