My Mom's Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb chuck
1 onion
1/2 c bread crumbs
1/4 ketsup
1 egg
1 ts steak seasoning salt
1 ts garlic powder
1 head cabbage
1/2 bacon
16 oz tomato sauce
1/2 ts oregano
1/2 ts onion flakes
3 pats butter

Instructions

Mix ground chuck, egg, seasoning salt, chopped onion, bread crumbs, ketsup together. Take one medium head of cabbage and put under hot water and let it run over the cabbage until the leaves come off easily. Prepare a large pot of hot water, and let it simmer to a rolling boil. Put the cabbage leaves in the hot water for a few minutes until they are soft. Drain, and let cool. Roll the meat mixture in the long part of the cabbage leaf and fix it together with a toothpick. Brush top of rolls with butter pats, and wrap with bacon. Put into a large baking dish (enamel is preferable) and bake at 350 F for about 1/2 hour until brown. Pour tomato sauce, which has been mixed with oregano, garlic, onion flakes and salt, over the rolls. Canned, crushed tomatoes and paste may also be used. Bake at 350F for about 1 hour, or until bacon is brown.
