Halupsi (Cabbage Rolls)

Brown and crumble the meat in a skillet over medium heat. Set aside. Cook chopped onion in butter in a large skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Add rice, meat, salt, and pepper. Stir just to mix well. Remove from heat.

Remove core from the head of cabbage. Place whole head in a large kettle filled with boiling water. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pull off the softened outer leaves. Take out all large leaves and cut the thick centre stem from each leaf. Take one large cabbage leaf at a time, put 1 heaped tablespoonful of meat mixture in centre of a leaf. Roll leaves, covering stuffing from sides like an envelope. Put stuffed cabbage leaves with seam down close to each other in a 9X13 baking pan (I cover with foil). Combine beef broth, tomato soup and tomatoes. Pour this mixture over cabbage rolls. Bake in a 350 degree (F) oven for 1 hour and remove the foil the last 15 minutes.
