Source of Recipe
Buddy cookbook
List of Ingredients
1 lb raw hamburger
1/2 cup raw rice
1 egg
dash of pepper
3/4 tsp salt
1 onion, chopped and sauteed
1 onion, sliced
1 can sauerkraut - use large can
1 can tomato sauce - use 2 15oz cans
1 head of cabbage - Carol uses 2 (18 rolls approx)
Recipe
Wilt cabbage in hot water, almost boiling, in which you add 2 tsp salt and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Cut off leaves and trim the stem off each of them. Be careful not to overheat them, as cabbage leaves tear easily.
Mix together rice, meat, sauteed onions, salt, pepper and egg. Mix well.
Place kraut in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan. Pour some tomato sauce over the kraut.
Place about 1/4 cup of mixture in the middle of a cabbage leaf. Fold the left side of the leaf over the meat, then roll away from you. Tuck in the edges on the right side of the roll, and place in the pan on top of the kraut. Repeat until you are out of cabbage or meat.
Put the sliced onion on top of the cabbage rolls, and pour the rest of the tomato sauce on them. Add water until you can see it rise about 3/4 of the way to the top of the cabbage rolls.
Bake at 375 for about 2 hours. Check them sometimes to see if they still have liquid.
Of course, always remember to make extra of the following to freeze:
Sloppy joes (hamburger BBQ)..can add to cooked macaroni and add cheeses and bake for a quick dinner.
Soups - I put my soups in ziplocs and lay on baking sheets to freeze flat, saves space.
