Ingredients

Sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1½ tablespoons brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Cabbage Rolls

1 large head green cabbage
½ pound ground pork sausage
½ pound ground beef
½ medium onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 egg
¾ cup Minute Rice or long-grain parboiled white rice
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Add the whole head of cabbage and boil for 5 minutes. Remove to a colander to drain and cool. Once cooled, cut 1/2 inch off the stem end of the cabbage. Carefully remove 12 leaves and cut the tough rib out of the stem end in the shape of a V.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring several times. Reduce heat to low and add garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Spoon a thin layer of the tomato sauce into a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. In a large bowl, mix the ground pork sausage, ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, rice, parsley, and paprika.
Place about 1/3 cup of the meat mixture in the center of the cabbage roll. Bring in the sides and roll tightly. Place the rolls in a single layer in the casserole dish. Repeat until you have made and arranged all the cabbage rolls in the casserole dish. Top with remaining tomato sauce.
Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 80-90 minutes.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on reduced power in the microwave.
To freeze, first cool to room temperature. Cover the baking dish with 2 layers of plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge. Remove the casserole from the fridge 40 minutes before reheating. Remove the plastic wrap and cover with aluminum foil only. Reheat at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes or until hot.
