1. -In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with all of the ingredients, except for the cabbage, tomato soup and reserved diced tomato juice.
2. Set aside.
3. -Remove the core from the cabbage.

5. I like to rotate my cabbage head so it is steamed evenly.
6. -Gently peel off the leaves and cut out the thick white"veins" to aid in rolling.
7. -Place approx.
