Saute 3 chopped onions in a stick of butter and salt till golden yellow
Cook one cup rice, set aside to cool
Put one pound ground meat (I used 1 1/2 pounds beef and pork) in a bowl with 1 tsp salt, onions and rice
Boil whole cabbage for about 10 minutes, let cool and then removed leaves. Cut off the thick part of the stem to make rolling easier. Put about 1/3 cup filling in each leaf and roll up. Place in pot seam side down
line bottom of pot with pieces to small to use
Place in pot with a can of tomato paste and about 5 cups cabbage water and 1/2 tsp vinegar.
Alternatively, tomato juice with 2 TBSP tomato paste and 1/2 tsp vinegar
if hamburger was lean, dot with butter
use leftover leaves to cover the cabbage (not necessary in the crock pot).
Bake at 350 for 90 minutes.
Or Cook in Crockpot on low 8-9 hours
