Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/3 pound sausage
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup rice (uncooked)
• 5oz dry onion soup mix
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 head cabbage
• 1 (8oz) can tomato sauce

Instructions:

Mix together ground beef, sausage, onion, rice, onion soup mix, salt and pepper. Shape in rolls about egg size. Carefully cut out core from cabbage and discard; place cabbage in kettle with small amount of water and steam about 10 minutes. Cool slightly and carefully remove each leaf. The heavier ribs of cabbage can be sliced out to make the leaf more flexible to work with. Wrap a leaf around each meat roll. Chop any remaining cabbage and line bottom of a Dutch oven. Pack rolls tightly over cabbage, cover with tomato sauce and simmer for 2-3 hours. Tastes even better reheated the following day!
