Amy'S Grandma'S Stuffed Cabbage Holoptchis (Omac) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cabbage, cored
For the meat mixture
2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup white rice, uncooked
2 eggs, lightly beaten
kosher salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste (optional)
For the sauce
2 onions, sliced
32 ounces tomato sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar or 3/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend, firmly packed
1/4 cup golden raisins or 1/4 cup brown raisins
1/2 cup lemon juice

Preparation

If you have the cabbage heads frozen, just put under running luke warm water and peel them off and dry them with paper towels.
Mix the meat ingredients in a bowl with your hands until well blended.
Place the leaves on a flat surface, I used a large cutting board and place a \"meatball\" amount in a leaf.
Roll it until just covered and then fold in the sides and finish rolling and place in a large pot, seam side down.
Continue until all is used up.
Place the sliced onions on top of the cabbage rolls in the pot.
In a bowl (I rinsed the bowl that had the meat mixture and used that) mix all the sauce ingredients and pour over the onions.
Bring the pot to a boil and then lower the heat, cover and simmer for an hour and a half.
