1 c. cooked rice
1 pound grnd beef
1 egg, beaten
1 onion, finely minced
1/4 green pepper, finely minced
1 c. celery, finely minced
1 lg. head cabbage
1 c. tomato sauce
1 c. beef stock

Directions

Parboil cabbage in salt water. Allow to cold and drain. Remove leaves from core carefully, trim off coarse ends. Mix all ingredients well. Put a pat of meat mix on cabbage leaves, fold over and fasten with a toothpick. Place in deep baking dish or possibly roaster. Pour over tomato sauce and beef stock, cover and place in oven 450 degrees for 15 min. Remove cover and return for 30 min longer, or possibly till meat is tender-done.
Note: For variation, my mother would sometimes omit the beef stock and tomato sauce and bake the cabbage rolls on a thick (2 cans) of sauerkraut.

you don't really need to fasten it with toothpicks. that bit surprised me a little. you just arrange it in the pot so that the fold is at the bottom. i have cooked this dish many times and saw it cooked by others many times either, and never cooking involved using a toothpicks!
