That is how I make mine all the time I mix uncooked rice, eggs, salt pepper into raw hamburger and than roll it into the cabbage. I cook mine in a pot on the stove I know a lot of people bake tham in the oven, have never tried it that way, my mother always cooked hers on the stove so that is the way I do it. I put a layer of cabbage on the bottom of the pot and than layer the cabbage rolls on top of the layer of cabbage rolls I put saurkraut and squish some canned tomatos put some cabbage on top of that and than just continue to layer to the top of the pot ending with a layer of cabbage, I always save out some of the hamburger mixture and just put a ball of it on top and that is what I use to check if the rice is done but I cover it and cook it real slow on the stove for 3 or 4 hours.
