How to Make Amy's Grandma's Stuffed Cabbage Holoptchis Omac

  1. Separate cabbage leaves: Freeze a whole cabbage overnight, then remove leaves as needed. Alternatively, boil whole cabbage gently for a few minutes, then cool and remove leaves.
  2. Prepare the meat mixture: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup uncooked rice, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Assemble the stuffed cabbage: Place about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf and roll tightly. Place seam-down in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  4. Make the sauce: In a separate bowl, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (10.75 ounce) can undiluted tomato soup, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup brown sugar (Splenda or regular), 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Simmer: Pour the sauce over the stuffed cabbage rolls. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 110 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the rice is cooked through.
  6. Serve: Serve hot and enjoy! Leftovers freeze well for another meal.
