Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup uncooked white rice
• 8 cabbage leaves
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, bring 2/3 cup of water and white rice to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add cabbage leaves and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Drain.
3. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, 1 cup of cooked rice, chopped onion, slightly beaten egg, 2 tablespoons of condensed tomato soup, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each softened cabbage leaf. Fold one end of the leaf over the mixture, rolling it up and tucking in the ends to secure the filling inside.
5. Place the stuffed cabbage rolls in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the remaining tomato soup over the rolls. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring and basting with the liquid often.
