Stuffed Cabbage Rolls  Mom & Dad
This recipe may be cut in half or increased. You can even skip the rolling
and just make meat and rice balls. Lay them carefully on chopped cabbage
with sauce and bake covered. Saves time. However most people like them
rolled in the cabbage.
1 large head cabbage (3 1/2 pounds)
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup white rice

Salt and pepper

Cook rice until tender.
In large kettle, bring 2 quarts water to boiling. Place cabbage with core

roll up from the thick end of the leaf.
