This is one of my favorite recipes. I adapted it by taking the rice out of it. It's great for cold weather nights! I vary it by adding mushrooms, etc.
* 2/3 cup water
* 8 cabbage leaves
* 1 pound lean ground beef
* 1/4 cup chopped onion
* 1 egg, slightly beaten
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes (you may want to add more,
depending on your preference)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Bring a large, wide saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add cabbage leaves and cook for 2 to 4 minutes or until softened; drain.
2.. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, egg, salt and pepper, along with a few tablespoons of tomatoes. Mix thoroughly.
3. Divide the beef mixture evenly among the cabbage leaves. Roll and secure them with toothpicks or string.
4. In a large skillet over medium heat, place the cabbage rolls and pour the remaining tomatoes over the top. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring and basting with the liquid often.
