Ingredients

    Lean Ground Beef (96/4) - 1 pound
    Brown Rice, Pre-cooked with one tablespoon margarine, 2 cups
    Egg, 1 large
    Spaghetti Sauce, Hunt's Zesty & Spicy, 1- 26 ounce can
    Crisco Vegetable Oil, 1.5 TBS
    Cabbage, raw, 1/2 of a large head
    Garlic powder, 1 TBS
    Onion Powder, 1 TBS
    Salt, 1 TBS
    Black Pepper, 1 TBS
    Water, 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
