       Yield: 6 Servings
  
       1    Large cabbage-about 2 lbs -
            -cored and coarsely chopped
     1/2 c  Rice
       1    Medium onion; chopped
       2 c  Tomato sauce
       2    Large eggs
       2 ts Salt
   1 1/2 ts Thyme
     1/2 ts Pepper (or to taste)
   1 1/2 lb Ground round (85%lean)
     1/2 lb Ground pork
     1/2 c  Beef broth
  
     Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large pot of
   boiling salted water, cook cabbage until just crisp
   tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well, rinsed under
   cold water, and drain again.
     In a small saucepan of boiling salted water, cook
   rice 5 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and
   drain again.
     In a large bowl, combine onion, 3/4 cup tomato
   sauce, eggs, salt, thyme, and pepper; mix with a fork.
   Add rice, ground round, and ground pork and blend well.
     In a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish, spread
   half of cabbage in an even layer.  Cover with all of
   meat mixture. Spread remaining cabbage on top. Combine
   remaining 1-1/4 cups tomato sauce and beef broth and
   pour over casserole.  Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
    Bake 1 hour.  Remove foil and bake 15 minutes longer.
   (Just right for when you want to enjoy the flavors of
   stuffed cabbage, but aren't up to "fussing" with
   rolling leaves).
