½ lb uncooked ground beef
½ lb uncooked ground pork
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce, divided
1 small onion, chopped
½ cup uncooked long grain rice
1 tbsp dried parsley flakes
½ tsp salt
½ tsp fresh dill or dill weed
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 can (14½ oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
½ tsp sugar
Directions:
Prep cabbage: Boil cabbage just until outer leaves peel off easily. Set aside 12 large leaves.
Mix filling: In a bowl, combine ground beef, pork, ½ cup tomato sauce, onion, rice, parsley, salt, dill, and cayenne. Mix well.
Prepare leaves: Cut out thick vein from bottom of each leaf (make a V-cut).
Assemble rolls: Place ~¼ cup meat mix on leaf, fold in sides, then roll from cut end. Repeat with all leaves.
Layer and bake: Slice remaining cabbage; place in Dutch oven. Arrange rolls seam-side down on top. Mix diced tomatoes, sugar, remaining tomato sauce; pour over rolls. Cover and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 1½ hours until tender.
