Saute onion in oil. Add meat, rice, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Place a heaping tablespoon of meat mixture on each cabbage leaf. Tuck sides over filling while rolling leaf around filling. Secure with wooden picks. Place half the chopped cabbage on bottom of a large Dutch oven. Fill with layers of the cabbage rolls. Cover with remaining chopped cabbage.

Combine tomato sauce with water. Mix well. Pour over cabbage rolls. cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Serve cabbage rolls with the sauce and top with sour cream. Makes 15 servings.
