Ingredients
- 1 large head green cabbage
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground Italian sausage
- 1.5 cups cooked long grain rice
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 large egg
- 15 oz tomato sauce, divided
- 10.75 oz condensed tomato soup

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Soften the cabbage leaves by boiling, steaming, or microwaving until wilted.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, cooked rice, diced onion, salt, pepper, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, egg, and ½ cup of the tomato sauce. Mix thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining tomato sauce, condensed tomato soup, and additional seasoning if desired.
- Pour about ½ cup of the sauce mixture into a 9x13 baking dish.
- Take a cabbage leaf, place ⅓ cup of filling in the center, fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly. Place each roll seam-side down in the dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the cabbage rolls. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
- Remove the foil, baste the rolls with sauce, and bake for an additional 10 minutes uncovered.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes

- Avoid overpacking the filling, and use quality meat for the best flavor.
