Ingredients

    5 pounds of extra lean ground beef
    6 cups of Minute white rice
    1 tbsp hot sauce
    pepper, garlic powder, any other spices you like to taste.
    1 large cabbage

    can add onions, egg, breadcrumbs if desired, but will add to calories and carbs.

Directions

should make 20 + rolls depending on hand size
1 roll = 1 serving

Core and remove outer leaves of cabbage and then put into large pot and bring to a boil.
While waiting for cabbage put ground meat in a bowl and add the rice and spices. Mix well
Cabbage will start to fall away from itself, at this point start to take out of pot and place on towel.
Take 1 hand full, about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of meat mixture and shape into a loaf. Place at spine of cabbage and roll to outer leaf, stopping half way to bring in the outside cabbage, and finish to end. Place in a roasting pan, continue until all of cabbage is gone (extra meat mixture can be cooked like meat loaf with some of the V8/tomato juice) or until all meat is gone (leftover cooked cabbage can be placed on top of cabbage rolls to prevent any overcooking.
Cover cabbage rolls with the entire bottle of V8. If you find it is drying out when you check it you can add tomato juice.
Place in oven at 350F for 2 hours or 300F for the afternoon or until husband can smell them ... then they're done.
Remove 1 roll to test if done.
Serve with a nice crusty whole wheat bead if desired.
