One-Pot Unstuffed Cabbage

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 1-1/4 hours YIELD: 6 servings.
Here is one of my favorite ways to cook and enjoy cabbage. It has all the good flavor of regular cabbage rolls, but it's a lot less bother to make. In fact, it's a one-pot meal! —Mrs. Bernard Snow, Lewiston, Michigan

Ingredients

  • TOMATO SAUCE:
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 medium head cabbage, coarsely chopped (about 8 cups)

  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup raisins

  • 1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)

Directions

  • 1. In a large skillet, combine sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the rice, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over rice mixture; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 36 balls, about 1-1/4 in. in diameter. Add to simmering sauce.
