Mama's Favorite Meal Ever

If I could eat one meal for the rest of my life- it would be this one.
Cabbage rolls, a recipe from your great-Grandma S.
I finally urged myself to make this at home one Saturday this summer with your fairy Godmother's help.
I told her how I was hesitant because I've only ever eaten cabbage rolls in Grandma's kitchen or dining room.
The minute our kitchen began to smell like hers, though, my eyes welled up with tears. I knew I had made the right choice.

6 large or 12 medium green cabbage leaves
1 # hamburger
1 beaten egg
1/2 C. milk
3/4 C. cooked white rice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 T. dill weed
1 jar brown gravy
1 can tomato soup
1/4 c. ketchup
1/3 c. water
1/3 c. onion

Place intact cabbage head in large pot of salted, boiling water for 10-12 minutes. Remove one leaf at at time, careful to not tear. Submerge in boiling water as you keep removing the leaves to soften the last leaves in the center of the head.

Combine egg, raw hamburger, milk, rice, salt, and pepper.
Place 1/2 C. of mixture in each cabbage leaf and roll.
Place fold-side down in 9 x 13 baking dish.

Combine gravy, ketchup, water, dill, and onion. Pour the sauce over cabbage rolls.

Bake @ 350* for 45 minutes to an hour.

Serve with additional cooked white rice, or with boiled potatoes like Grandma always does.
