Dads Cabbage Rolls

Cabbage leaves are filled with a mixture of ground beef, rice and tomatoes then baked on a bed of sauerkraut.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 head cabbage
• 2 16 oz cans shredded sauerkraut
• 1 large white onion
• 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
• 1 16 oz can tomatoes
• 1 8 oz can tomato paste
• 4 medium eggs
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• Dash salt and pepper

Directions:

Boil cabbage head on high for 25-30 minutes. Rinse under cold water and allow excess water to drain, about 15 minutes. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, onion, garlic, rice, eggs, tomato paste and canned tomatoes. Add salt and pepper and mix well. In a large baking dish, layer bottom with a thick layer of sauerkraut. Peel cabbage leaves off and fill with meat/rice mixture, use just enough so cabbage leaf can close. Place cabbage ball on sauerkraut. Make sure they are nestled in tightly. Cover top with sauerkraut. Layer if needed. Bake covered in oven at 375 degrees for an hour and a half. Uncover and bake 15 more minutes.
