Ingredients
2poundsground beef
1 - 29ouncecan of tomato sauce
1/2cupinstant riceuncooked
1head green cabbage
1/4cupParmesan cheese
1/2cupminced onion
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/4teaspoonblack pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare a covered deep baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Place a large pot of water to boil on the stove.
Combine ground beef with rice, onion, cheese and spices. Form into 16 meatballs.
Cut the bottom off of the head of cabbage and drop it in a pot of boiling water to help the leaves separate easier. (I used to try to take them off of the uncooked head, and it seemed they always ripped on me. ) Take each leaf off, as they loosen in the pot, with a set of tongs. Be carful -- they are hot!
Place the prepared meatball at the bottom of the leaf (where the stem would be) fold the sides inward, and roll from the bottom up. Place seam side down in a baking dish.
Pour tomato sauce over the top, cover and bake for 90 minutes.
