Ingredients

    Large Stock Pot
    2 heads of Cabbage cored and uncooked
    3 lbs lean hamburger
    3 lbs ground pork
    3 cloves garlic minced
    1 cup uncooked short grain rice
    1 lbs mashed potatos

Directions

Core, rinse and drain cabbage
Carefully peel off cabbage leaves (they need to be whole)
With a small knife, carve along the hard spine of each cabbage leave (otherwise these wont cook through and they'll be crunchy) just slightly take off the edge
Combine hamburger, pork, garlic, and rice
Roll meat mixture into small oval balls
Place in center of cabbage leaf and roll

In large stock pot, cover bottom with some of the crushed tomatos and sauerkraut
Layer the rolled cabbage on top of this, repeat layers of tomatoe, saurkraut and cabbage rolls. Top off with remaining tomatos.
Simmer on medium high until smalls bubbles show at the top (about 30 mins), then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 2 1/2 hours. During cooking take a wooden spoon and gently push around the bottom of the pot, this will help to evenly distribute the cooking process.

When done serve over mashed potatoes and top with more sauerkraut.


**You can use low sodium sauerkraut and brown rice to lower sodium and Carb intake. You could also half this recipe, still makes alot.
