Polish Cabbage Rolls

These are also referred to as Galumpkis. My grandma and mom used to make these growing up, although this is not their recipe. It came out pretty close to what I remember though and this is what I've been using for years. I don't remember where I found it originally; it's been a while, but it's fairly standard.

1 green cabbage
1 lb. ground beef, browned
3/4 - 1 c rice, cooked
1 egg beaten
1 onion, minced fine
1 carrot, minced fine
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 c cider vinegar
1/2 c brown sugar

Roll up by folding top flap over meat mixture then sides, and rolling down the length of the leaf. Place stem side down in pan and pour tomato mixture on top.
