Step #1 Core & slice cabbage 1/2" thick, & add to water in pot, & stir & cook till wilted.
Step #2 Meanwhile - chop ground meat fine as you fry till it's no longer red.
Step #3 Place cooked meat in a colander to drain grease.
Step #4 Then wash the ground meat with running hot faucet running water to remove rest of grease.
Step #5 Add ground meat, & sauce, & salsa to wilted cabbage, then simmer for 5-10 mins.
Step #6 Serve over cooked white rice if you desire.
Step #7 NOTE: At this point it is done, but you could have used the medium, or hot salsa instead, but that is much too peppered for me.
Step #8 I used two 6" heads of cabbage, but I really believe that, & the taste was strong & delicious, with even larger heads of cabbage, & more meat if you choose = the taste wouldn't hardly deminish.
Step #9 If you decide to add white rice to the recipe in the pot, consider using converted rice that holds it's texture even after freezing = like Uncle Ben's.
Step #10 See my recipe for gumbo to get 13 min boiled white rice recipe.
