Ingredients

2/3 cup Water
1/3 cup Uncooked White Rice
8 leaves Cabbage Large leaves preferred for easier rolling.
1 pound Lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
1 large Egg Slightly beaten.
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 can Condensed Tomato Soup 10.75 oz can.

Instructions

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Set aside.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook cabbage leaves for 2–4 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine cooked rice, ground beef, onion, egg, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of tomato soup. Mix well.
Place meat mixture in center of each cabbage leaf and roll up, securing with toothpicks or string.
Place rolls in a large skillet and pour remaining tomato soup over the top.
Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes, basting occasionally with the sauce.

Notes

These cabbage rolls are freezer-friendly and can also be baked in a covered dish at 350°F for 1 hour instead of simmering. Try using savoy cabbage for a more tender leaf and experiment with pork or turkey for variation.
