• Stuffed Cabbage Leaves

      12  cabbage leaves
        1  pound ground beef     (ground turkey or buffalo for low fat recipe)
    1/2  cup uncooked instant rice
        1  can (15 oz) tomato sauce
        1  teaspoon salt
    1/8  teaspoon pepper
    1/8  teaspoon garlic salt
        1  medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
        1  can (4oz) mushroom stems and pieces, undrained
        1  teaspoon sugar
    1/2  teaspoon lemon juice
      10  ginger snaps crushed

    1.  Cover cabbage leaves with boiling water.  Cover and let stand until leaves are limp,  about 10 minutes.  Remove leaves; drain.
    2.  Mix ground beef, rice, 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce, the salt, pepper, garlic salt, onion and mushrooms.  Place about 1/3 cup beef mixture at stem end of each leaf.  Roll leaf around beef mixture, tucking in sides.
    3.  Place cabbage rolls, seam sides down, in ungreased square baking dish, 8×8x2 inches.  Mix remaining tomato sauce, the sugar and lemon juice; pour over cabbage rolls.   Sprinkle top with crushed ginger snaps.  Cover and bake in 350F oven until beef is done, about 45 minutes.
    NOTE:  To separate leaves from cabbage head easily, remove core and cover cabbage with cold water.  Let stand about 10 minutes; remove leaves.

    Low Fat:  Use ground turkey in place of ground beef
