Old-Fashioned Cabbage Rolls

Remove core from cabbage. In a large kettle or Dutch oven, cook cabbage in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes. Remove outer leaves when softened; return to boiling water as necessary to obtain 12 leaves. Drain; remove thick center vein from leaves. In a bowl, combine beef, pork, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, onion, rice, parsley, salt, dill and cayenner pepper; mix well. Place about 1/4 cup meat mixture on each cabbage leaf. Fold in sides; starting at unfolded edge, roll up to completely enclose filling. Slice the remaining cabbage; place in a large kettle or Dutch oven. Arrange the cabbage rolls, seam side down, over cabbage. Combine tomatoes, sugar and remaining tomato sauce; pour over the rolls. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1-1/2 hours. 6-8 servings.
