Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the uncooked rice and stir. Reduce the heat, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Once done, set aside.

Prepare the Cabbage:
Bring a large, wide saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and cook for about 2-4 minutes, or until softened. Drain the leaves and set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the Beef Mixture:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, ground beef, chopped onion, egg, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of tomato soup. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.

Stuff the Cabbage Rolls:
Take one cabbage leaf at a time and spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto the center. Roll the leaf around the filling and secure with toothpicks or string. Repeat for the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.

Cook the Cabbage Rolls:
In a large skillet over medium heat, place the stuffed cabbage rolls. Pour the remaining tomato soup over the top, covering the rolls. Cover the skillet, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring and basting with the sauce occasionally to ensure even cooking.
