Quick Unstuffed Sweet And Sour Cabbage And Beef


Good if you don't have time to fuss and make old-fashioned stuffed cabbage.

Steps


In a 12-inch-wide , deep skillet or a dutch oven , cook the ground beef and onion over medium heat , breaking up the meat with a spoon.
When the meat has browned and the onion is tender , spoon off and discard any fat in the skillet.
Add the tomato sauce , applesauce , water , vinegar , brown sugar , and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil , stirring constantly.
Stir in the cabbage , which will wilt as it cooks and become more compact.
Lower the heat and simmer , covered , stirring occasionally , for 25 to 30 minutes , or until cabbage is tender.
Stir in the cooked rice and heat a few minutes longer , until it is cooked through.
This is most easily served in bowls.
