Ingredients

1 large head of cabbage
1 C. long grain white rice, uncooked
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef, use no leaner than 16% fat
salt and pepper to taste
15 ounce jar of sauerkraut, drain & reserve juice
1/2 – 3/4 C. catsup

Cooking Instructions

Place whole head of cabbage in boiling salted water and as leaves soften, remove them to plate and cool. Cook rice according to package directions, then cool. If you have rice that flops, the nice thing here is that it can be under cooked due to baking time! Mix ground beef, salt and pepper. Place mixture in leaves and roll tucking sides under. Place rolls in a casserole, spread sauerkraut over top and catsup over top of sauerkraut. Cover with a tightly fitting lid. (Aluminum foil works in a pinch) Bake in 300º oven for 3 or 4 hours. Do not let it dry out, add a little of the reserved sauerkraut juice if necessary.
