I'm collecting family recipes for a family reunion cookbook. Aunt Flo was a diabetic and this recipe was given to me by her daughter Carolee from KC, MO. This recipe calls for Sugar Twin brown sugar but I prefer Splenda brand brown sugar (which does have some real brown sugar in it). I'm not sure of the amount to use for this recipe. I don't have Sugar Twin to see what a 1/2 cup equals in regular brown sugar. You need that amount to then see what to use for Splenda's equivalent. I hope you understand what I mean! Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce (hunts brand) |
1/2 cup brown sugar twin |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
salt, to taste |
pepper, to taste |
garlic powder, to taste |
onion powder, to taste (optional) |
1/2 head cabbage, shredded well |
Directions:
1. Mix the tomato sauce, brown sugar substitute and lemon juice in a large pot over medium heat and simmer 5-10 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Meanwhile season the meat with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder if you like and roll into meatballs.
4. Drop the balls into the simmering sauce and also add the cabbage and cover it with the sauce let this simmer for 10-15 minutes.
5. Tranfser this mix into a large enough baking dish and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
