Cabbage Rolls with Tomato Sauce

These hearty cabbage rolls are filled with ground meat and rice, then simmered in a tangy tomato sauce.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Remove the core from the cabbage and blanch the whole head in boiling water until the leaves are soft and pliable, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, onion, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper.
Carefully remove the cabbage leaves and lay them flat. Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each leaf, then roll up the leaf, tucking in the sides.
Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, sugar, and vinegar. Pour over the cabbage rolls.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 1 hour, or until the cabbage rolls are tender and the meat is cooked through.
