Ingredients
  

  • 1 large heat of cabbage
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 3 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF

  • In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, cooked rice, onion, garlic, egg, tomato paste, paprika, salt, and pepper.
