Preparation

1. Boil cabbage in water about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool.
2. In a bowl, mix the ground beef, rice, grated onion, ketchup and egg, and season with salt and pepper.
3. In another bowl, combine canned tomatoes, tomato soup, brown sugar and lemon juice.
4. Separate cabbage leaves and roll about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into each leaf, tucking in the sides. If you have leftover beef, roll it into tiny meatballs.
5. Pour some of the tomato mixture into a deep pot. Crumble a handful of ginger snaps into it, then cover with a layer of rolled cabbage leaves (and tiny meatballs, if you have any), then one layer of sliced onion rings. Repeat until all cabbage rolls are used.
6. Cook on low heat, covered, about 2 1/2 hours. When nearly finished, prepare buttered noodles, and serve with stuffed cabbage.

• To get a second meal out of this, put a piece of chuck roast in the bottom of the pot, on top of the first layer of sauce and below the first layer of rolled cabbage.
