Peel leaves from cabbage in whole pieces
(Reserve any small ones).
Put meat/rice mixture into each leaf
and roll from top to bottom. If leaf won't roll, but wants to break,
use a knife and pare a bit of the thickness from the top.
Lay each roll, seam side down, in a roaster
or deep casserole dish.
Chop leftover cabbage.
Mix remaining ingredients in large bowl.
Pour over rolls.
Bake at 350º F for about 1 hr.
Cover and bake another 1 1/2 -2 hrs.
Note: Aunt Betty baked them at
200º F for 8-10 hours, basting each hour.
