Halupki a.k.a. Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
- 1 head White Cabbage, (I Use 1 Large Or 2 Small)
- 2 pounds Lean Ground Beef
- 1 cup White Rice (not Instant)
- 3 cans (14 Oz. Size) Campbell's Tomato Soup, Divided
- 2 whole Large Eggs
- 3 Tablespoons Dried Minced Onion
- 2 pinches Salt
- 2 pinches Pepper
- 3/4 cups Heinz Ketchup, Divided
- 3/4 cans Water
- Cut core out of cabbage head and cover with water in a large stock pot.
- Bring water to a boil and boil cabbage until leaves begin to fall off the head with a little help from you.
- I stand at the stove and peel one leaf off at a time.
- Drain leaves.
- With a sharp knife thin out the veins along the spine of each cabbage leaf.
- Do not cut the vein out, just slice off the excess thickness.
- Mix together ground beef, rice, 1 can of tomato soup, eggs, minced onions, salt, pepper and not quite a 1/4 cup ketchup.
- Assemble cabbage rolls.
- Lay the leaf with the vein part towards you, put a little of the mixture on top of the vein, fold in the sides and then roll the leaf up.
- There is no set amount to put in each leaf because the size of the leaves vary.
- Place in roaster pan with the seam side down.
- I place the larger ones around the outside of the roaster.
- I also cut up the remaining cabbage in approximately 1 inch squares and place on top.
- Pour the remaining tomato soup (2 cans) over the top of the cabbage rolls.
- There is no measurement to this, but squirt ketchup over the rolls in a sporadic fashion.
- Not too much.
- Dont cover the entire top of the rolls.
- Kind of like if you were putting chocolate syrup over a sundae.
- But make sure you put enough on it because it adds the tang to the tomato soup.
- I would estimate about 1/2 cup.
- Next, pour a little more than 3/4 of a can of water (the soup can) over the entire mixture.
- Cover and cook for 1-1/2 hours at 350 degrees.
- If you make more than 2 pounds of ground beef, youll need to cook it longer.
