Cabbage Rolls

1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 lbs ground sausage (jimmy dean or whatever you prefer….more spice=more flavor)
1 onion (I usually use onion flakes…)
1/2 pkg meat loaf seasoning (these are by the gravy mixes)
1-2 eggs
1/2 -3/4 cup rolled oats
Moisten with milk
Salt and Pepper
(mix it up just like meat loaf…use your hands to blend together meats then a wooden spoon for the rest)

2 cans Tomato soup
1 head Cabbage
I add cooked rice because this is a lot of meat

Boil the cabbage for easy separation of the leaves. Spread some soup on the floor of the pot. Put a spoonful of meat mixture in a leaf, wrap and place in the pot. After you have covered the bottom, put another layer of soup (just spread over the tops of the leaves). Do this until you run out of meat. Pour the rest of the soup over the top and put the lid on and cook on high for 3-4 hrs or on low for 7-8 hrs. Goes really well with breadsticks or garlic bread.
