Ingredients
Preparation
1. Cut the core out of the cabbage. I''ve found the easiest way is to cut it at an angle. Find a stock pot that will fit the cabbage, fill 2/3 of the way with water and bring to a boil.
2. Once the cabbage is boiling lower the temperature to medium high. When you start seeing the outer leaf(s) coming off the head try to peel them away completely. Carefully as you don''t want to rip any. Once boiling the cabbage should boil for another 15-20 minutes while you try to get all leafs separated.
3. While the cabbage is cooking prepare your meat mixture by adding the beef, rice, 1 can tomato soup, 1/2 c water, salt and pepper to a large bowl. I''ve found Campbell''s tomato soup works the best for this recipe.
4. After 15-20 minutes drain the cabbage leaves and let cool. They should sit until you''re comfortable handling them.
5. In a mixing bowl add the remaining 1 can tomato soup, 1 c water and brown sugar. Mix together.
6. On a flat surface take 1 cabbage leaf and place with the curling edge is facing up. Holding the back edge of the leaf add 1 heaping spoonful of meat mixture towards the middle of the leaf. You want the meat as near to the end of the smallest part of the leaf as possible so it''s easier to roll. Once you''ve added the meat mixture roll the leaf by taking the left side of the cabbage leaf and rolling over to the middle of the leaf. Repeat with the right side of the leaf. With the small end of the leaf roll towards the front of the leaf until it''s in a complete roll.
7. In a crockpot spoon enough tomato soup mixture to cover the bottom.
8. Place the cabbage rolle end side down in your crockpot. Continue creating cabbage rolls and placing end side down in your crockpot. Once you''ve completed a layer spoon enough of the tomato soup mixture to cover the rolls. Repeat until you''ve run out of meat or cabbage.
9. When you''ve finished all cabbage rolls spoon any remaining soup mixture over the top and cover. Cook on low for 5 hours. The rolls are done when the meat mixture is completely cooked.
