  , to taste

Instructions

• 1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• 2 Carefully core the cabbage head and place it, head down, in the boiling water.
  Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the outer leaves soften.
• 3 Remove and drain the cabbage and let it cool. Once cooled, carefully peel off
  the tender cabbage leaves, trimming the thick vein in the center for easier
  rolling. I keep the large leaves on the outside of the cabbage to use on the
  bottom of the baking dish.
• 4 In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic,
  egg, salt, pepper, paprika, chopped parsley, and dried thyme. Mix well until all
  ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• 5 Place a cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Spoon a generous portion of the filling
  (about 2 tablespoons) onto the bottom of each leaf. Fold in the sides and roll
  it up, securing it with toothpicks if necessary. Repeat with the remaining
  leaves and filling.
• 6 In a separate bowl, mix together crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef or
  vegetable broth, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and
  pepper.
• 7 Heat oven to 375 F. 
• 8 Place some extra leaves from the cabbage on the bottom of your baking dish. 
• 9 Pour a small amount of the sauce into the bottom of a large Dutch oven or pot.
  Place cabbage rolls in the pot, seam down. Dot with butter, and then pour the
  remaining sauce over the top. Cover with a few of the extra leaves on the top.
• 10 Bake at 375 F, uncovered, until lightly brown on top.
• 11 Remove from the oven and baste with the sauce. Then cover, reduce heat to 325 F,
  and bake for 60-90 minutes.
• 12 Carefully remove toothpicks before serving. Spoon some sauce over each cabbage
  roll and serve hot.
• 13 Enjoy your homemade Stuffed Cabbage Rolls!
