My Mom would make this once in a while when I was a kid and I loved it so much. I should have told her then, but maybe she will see it now and know. Ingredients:
large head cabbage |
1 pound hamburger, we prefer ground chuck |
1 cup cooked rice |
1 large onion, chopped medium |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 large can (15 ounces) tomato sauce |
1 can (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 tbsp brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Remove about 15 large leaves from the cabbage; cut off very thick part of each leaf.
2. Pour boiling water over the cabbage to wilt the leaves.
3. Preheat oven to 350°.
4. Combine hamburger (ground chuck) with the rice, chopped onion, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
5. Place a mound of meat mixture in cupped part of each softened cabbage leaf.
6. Fold over sides of cabbage leaf; roll up, like a burrito.
7. In bottom of a cake pan oven, place a few of the remaining leaves. Arrange layers of cabbage rolls, seam side down, in a cake pan or large casserole.
8. Pour on tomato sauce, tomatoes, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
9. Bring to a boil on stove top.
10. Bake, covered, for 1 hour.
11. **TUILELAITH S NOTE: Its like meatloaf wrapped in cabbage with spaghetti sauce poured over it. The chopped tomatoes are my additive. I love tomatoes.... My Mom would use a blender and blend up our garden fresh tomatoes to make the sauce. It was like heaven.
