Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 c uncooked white rice
2/3 c water
8 cabbage leaves
1 lb lean ground beef
1/4 c chopped onion
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 can(s) (10.75 ounce) condensed tomato soup
8 slice bacon

Steps:

1. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
2. 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.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, 1 cup cooked rice, onion, egg, salt and pepper, along with 2 tablespoons of tomato soup. Mix thoroughly.
4. Divide the beef mixture evenly among the cabbage leaves. Roll and secure them with toothpicks or string.
5. Note: 2 ways to cook 1.) In a large skillet over medium heat, place the cabbage rolls and pour the remaining tomato soup 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. 2.) Place rolls side-by-side in a baking dish. Pour remaining tomato soup over rolls. Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
6. Optional: Wrap each roll with a strip of bacon or place bacon strips over the rolls, when placed in baking dish, topping with remaining tomato soup.
