Ingredients
Lean Ground Beef (96/4) - 1 poundBrown Rice, Pre-cooked with one tablespoon margarine, 2 cupsEgg, 1 largeSpaghetti Sauce, Hunt's Zesty & Spicy, 1- 26 ounce canCrisco Vegetable Oil, 1.5 TBSCabbage, raw, 1/2 of a large headGarlic powder, 1 TBSOnion Powder, 1 TBSSalt, 1 TBSBlack Pepper, 1 TBSWater, 1/4 cup
Directions
Prepare cabbage by peeling off 12 leaves, trying to keep each leaf intact. Put the leaves into a pot of boiling water until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Use tongs to carefully remove the cabbage from the water; set cabbage aside; discard water.

In a large bowl, mix ground beef, rice, 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce, egg and seasonings together until well-mixed.

Place one cabbage leaf on a plate; place 2 tablespoons of beef mixture into center of leaf. Roll up cabbage, burrito style. Place 2 toothpicks into each roll to keep cabbage from unrolling during cooking time. Repeat process until all cabbage leaves have been used.

In large dutch-oven pot, add oil and 1/2 cup of the spaghetti sauce. Place cabbage rolls into pot. Continue layering the rolls into the pot. Pour on the remaining spaghetti sauce. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover pot with lid and simmer over a medium low flame until done, about one hour.

This makes 12 individual servings.

     Recommendation: put your cabbage in the freezer overnight, take it out and as it thaws, it softens and you don't have to boil it. My mom made these for years and used that tip and they were delicious. Sure saves the finger tips! - 2/28/13

     I loved these. I added half an onion to the meat mixture instead of the onion powder. - 6/21/10

     I made this last night and everyone loved it, including the kids ages 8 - 14. I didn't have a side with it and felt very satisfied with 1 1/2 rolls- in fact I double checked the calories thinking it tasted too good to have 158 calories per roll. Also loved that it's simple to prepare. - 3/5/10

     These are great! I used quinoa instead of rice and I omitted the oil and water. I also just used regular tomato spaghetti sauce. I used my corningware covered dish and layered the rolls until they fit. Cooked on 350 for 1 hour. I had leftover stuffing so I froze it and will use it for something else - 2/9/11

     Without a doubt, one of my top favorite foods I have ever eaten. It's super yummy, very satisfying, and I like that the sauce has a very subtle kick to it. I would recommend this to everyone. I'm not a cabbage fan, but I kept going back for more. - 2/28/10

     An interesting take on the classic. But I question the TABLESPOON of black pepper. This was much too spicy for the average eater, although I liked it. I think a teaspoon of pepper should be sufficient, especially when using the spicy sauce. - 7/9/11

     This is a lot easier then the way I always make it. I usually boil the whole cabbage and then remove the soft leaves. Just goes to show that yu CAN teach an old dog new tricks lol - 2/27/13

     Very good--I'm hoping it freezes well. I baked dish for 1.5 hours at 350. Yum! - 4/14/11

     These were delicious. The only thing I did was to add 1 Tbsp. of minced onion. - 11/19/20

     I did this recipe with leftover brown rice, some crumbled meatballs, sauce and the cabbage. I didn't add the egg. I also didn't precook the cabbage, but placed my rolls in alternating them in muffin tins with water in the empty cups. I got a cooked, but still a little crunchy cabbage. Good! - 7/6/20
