WHOLE STUFFED CABBAGE
Cabbage roll without the chore of rolling them up! Takes a while, but sometimes I like that type of recipe so I can do other things while dinner is cooking.

Steps:
- 1. Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Set the tomato sauce aside.
- 2. Discard any tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Carefully remove 2 large leaves, and set aside. Cut out the stem and inner leaves of the cabbage, leaving a 1 inch thick shell. Set the cabbage shell aside. Discard the stem. Chop the inner leaves. Reserve 1 cup chopped cabbage, and set the remaining chopped cabbage aside.
- 3. Combine the reserved 1 cup chopped cabbage, ground beef, onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large Dutch oven. Cook over medium-high heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently until the cabbage is tender and the meat crumbles. Drain the oil from the Dutch oven. Stir in 1 cup reserved tomato sauce and the rice.
- 4. Fill the reserved cabbage shell with the meat mixture; cover the cabbage opening with the 2 reserved cabbage leaves. Tie securely with heavy string to hold the leaves in place.
- 5. Place the water in a Dutch oven; add the remaining reserved chopped cabbage and the remaining reserved tomato sauce. Place the stuffed cabbage in the Dutch oven, stem side down. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours or until tender.
- 6. Remove the stuffed cabbage to a serving platter, placing the cabbage stem side down. Remove and discard the string. Spoon the tomato sauce over the cabbage; cut cabbage into wedges.
