Steps:
- Boil cabbage in water about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool.
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef, rice, grated onion, ketchup and egg, and season with salt and pepper.
- In another bowl, combine canned tomatoes, tomato soup, brown sugar and lemon juice.
- Separate cabbage leaves and roll about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into each leaf, tucking in the sides. If you have leftover beef, roll it into tiny meatballs.
- Pour some of the tomato mixture into a deep pot. Crumble a handful of ginger snaps into it, then cover with a layer of rolled cabbage leaves (and tiny meatballs, if you have any), then one layer of sliced onion rings. Repeat until all cabbage rolls are used.
- Cook on low heat, covered, about 2 1/2 hours. When nearly finished, prepare buttered noodles, and serve with stuffed cabbage.
