Ingredients

1 medium head cabbage
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked instant rice
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
SAUCE:
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Remove core from the cabbage. Place cabbage in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; after about 3 minutes, outer leaves should be tender enough to remove. Return to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until leaves are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the tough center stalk from each leaf; reserve extra leaves and line a large baking dish with them. (If leaves for rolling are too brittle, return to boiling water for 1-2 minutes.)
Combine meat, rice, onion, egg and seasonings. Place about 2 tablespoons of meat mixture on each cabbage leaf. Roll toward the stalk, tucking in sides. Place rolls, seam side down, in a baking dish.
Combine sauce ingredients; pour over rolls. Cover and bake at 350° for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours.

Mom used to bake also. But I've discovered that the slow cooker is great. Start in the am and ready for dinner. Easy cleanup with liners. Mac and cheese go well with cabbage rolls.
