Even my kids eat this- I do add more rice and less meat, I probably use only 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef instead of 2 and 1 cup of cooked rice- we just like it better that way. I know the cinnamon sounds like it doesn't belong, but it just isn't the same if you leave it out.
I have hidden shredded carrots in them to add even more veggies. Shhhhhh- That Jessica Seinfeld has nothin' on me :)
The broth made is so yummy make sure you have a nice hearty bread to go with!
2 lbs. ground beef
3/4 c. cooked rice
1 lg. egg
1 onion, chopped fine
1/2 tsp. each salt & pepper
1 large head of cabbage
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 can tomatoes - diced, stewed- use what you have.
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I usually add a little more)
salt and pepper to taste
Remove leaves from head of cabbage try to keep them whole. Try to get 8-10 whole leaves. Scald them in boiling salt water just long enough to wilt. Set on paper towels to cool. Prepare meat mixture in a large bowl; add rice, onion, egg, salt and pepper; mix well. Place about 1/4 cup meat mixture in center of each leaf- fold in sides and roll ends over meat; secure with wooden toothpicks. Place in Crock Pot. Combine tomato soup, tomatoes, cinnamon, salt, and pepper; pour over cabbage rolls. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours.
Serves 6 to 8.

Ok you have SUPER picky kids and they eat these? We're gonna have to make these together some night soon. They sound yummy.
They think it's lettuce and since cabbage has a sweet taste- they like it. Curly just likes an extra side of rice, so I always leave some on the side. There is always extra yummy sauce to pour over it.
