1lbGround Beefor venison
1Cupcooked rice
1Medium Onion
1Rib Celery
1Green Bell Pepper
3ClovesGarlic
¼CupChopped Parsley
1tablespoonOnion Powder
1tablespoonGarlic Powder
1tablespoonCreole Seasoning
1Large Egg
1Can Tomato Soupseasoned
Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F.
Place a large pot (big enough to take the whole cabbage) and fill with water. Turn on to get it to boiling point.
Chop onions, bell pepper, garlic and celery. Put into a large mixing bowl.
Add ground meat, cooked rice, seasoning and egg. Mix together using your hands (wear gloves or make sure to wash hands thoroughly afterward).
Once the water is boiling, carefully lower the cabbage - stem down - into the water and boil for approximately 3-5 minutes then remove.
Cut off the stem of the cabbage - enough to remove a lot of the bigger leaves.
Cut a V out of the stem of the leaf to make it more flexible.
Take a handful of the meat mixture and form a log.
Wrap the cabbage leaf around it.
Take a 9x13 dish and spoon a few spoonfuls of tomato soup into the bottom of the dish.
Place each cabbage roll seam down into the baking dish.
Pour the remaining tomato soup over the top of the cabbage rolls.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven for 90-120 mins.
