4. Pour tomato sauce over onions, cabbage and meatballs. Add just enough water to almost cover cabbage. Sprinkle the pepper, salt and garlic powder over and cover to cook.

    This was yummy! I used my own meatballs that I had in the freezer. I was looking for something to eat the meatballs with besides pasta and this is great! - 1/14/09

    Also good with ground venison - just use a spray of olive oil to keep the meatballs from sticking. - 1/20/09

    This was good - but I think I undercooked it. - 2/27/12

    The sauce was great over mashed potatoes, but I thought the meatballs could use more seasonings (more garlic? Worcestershire? caraway, perhaps?). Will definitely make again, but will modify the meatballs. - 12/30/11
