Mom's cabbage rolls

35 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 pounds Savoy cabbage; 35 nice leaves
2 pounds Lean ground beef
1 cup Minute Rice
cup Spaghetti sauce - Bravo
cup Tomato juice
1 cup Chopped onions

Directions

Cut core from cabbage. Place in large pot of hot water and heat to soften leaves (about 20 min.). As leaves soften, carefully remove one at a time (while cabbage is in water). Place leaves on plate. Mix together ground beef, onions, rice, ½ cup spaghetti sauce and ½ cup tomato juice. Mix thoroughly. Lay out leaf on work surface and cut out hard centre core to about ½ way down leaf. Place 1 - 2 T of meat mixture onto large end of leaf. Start rolling and folding in sides. Place snugly into 2 - 9x13" pans seam side down. Continue until all cabbage rolls are made. Mix together remaining sauce and juice and pour evenly over cabbage rolls. Cover tightly with foil (shiny side down). Bake for 45 min. in a 350 oven. Remove from oven - Remove foil and cool before dividing into freezer packs. Cover with foil and freeze.

NOTES : One extra large cabbage (about 8 pounds) will yield enough leaves for this recipe. With the really large outside leaves - cut in half and make 2 rolls. The recipe makes 35 individual rolls.
