Cabbage Rolls - Take 2!

I've posted a cabbage roll recipe previously but this one includes sauerkraut, which my family loves, and it's made on the stove.  So if you don't have time for the crockpot, this is a nice substitution!

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 lb ground sausage
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup uncooked white rice
• 1 c water
• salt to taste
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1 large head cabbage
• 1 (32 ounce) jar sauerkraut
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 TBS brown sugar
• 1 TBS apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sausage, chopped onion, rice, water, and salt and pepper.
2. Bring a large pot of water a boil. Separate 12 to 15 large cabbage leaves from the head, and place in boiling water. Boil until soft, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from water, and set aside.
3. Into the center of each leaf, place a small amount of the meat mixture. Fold in the sides, and roll up from the bottom. Secure with a toothpick.
4. Place a layer of sauerkraut in the bottom of a large pot. Arrange cabbage rolls in a single layer over the sauerkraut. 
5. Mix the tomato sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and worcesterhshire together.  Pour over cabbage rolls.  Cover with remaining sauerkraut.. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for 90 minutes.
