Instructions
- Prepare cabbage as shown above by removing the outer leaves.
- Boil the cabbage and remove the leaves one-by-one until the head of cabbage is about half the size.
- While the cabbage leaves are cooling, prepare the hamburger filling. In a large bowl, combing the hamburger, eggs, onion, rice, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until fully combined.
- Add a small handful of the uncooked hamburger mixture in the cabbage leaf and roll up. Place in the kettle with the seam side down. Fill the kettle about 3/4 from the top. I use a 5 quart kettle.
- Cut up the remaining head of the cabbage and place in the kettle. Making sure to remove the tough stem first.
- Pour the can of tomato soup and 1 cup of ketchup on top of the cabbage. Add enough water to bring the liquid level about 1 inch from the edge. Cover with the lid and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Keeping the lid on but slightly ajar, continue to boil until the cabbage is tender and the hamburger is cooked. Approximately 1 hour.
- This makes enough for 2 kettles worth-using all o the hamburger and the cabbage. if you do not finish this all within a few days, it also freezes well for a future quick meal to enjoy.
