Calories: 316kcal
Ingredients
- 12 leaves cabbage
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Sauce:
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- 10 3/4 oz tomato soup 1 can
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. (large enough to hold the whole head of cabbage)
- Score around the core on the bottom of the cabbage with a paring knife. Boil the cabbage for 2 minutes, remove the soft leaves, repeat until you have 12 leaves.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook rice according to package directions but reduce cooking time by 5 minutes so the rice is slightly underdone. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine rice, egg, milk, onion, ground beef, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl combine the tomato sauce, tomato soup, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan.
- Remove or thin any thick stem on cabbage leaves. Lay the cabbage leaf flat and add 1/3 cup filling to the center of the leaf. Fold in the sides and roll the cabbage up. Place seam-side down in the pan.
- Pour sauce over the cabbage and cover tightly with foil. Bake 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake another 15-20 minutes. Allow cooling for 10 minutes before serving. (the sauce will thicken upon cooling)
