1 sm. head cabbage, chopped
1 1/2-2 lb. ground beef
1 sm. onion, chopped
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/3 c. rice
1 tsp. chili powder, optional
1 can condensed tomato soup plus
1 soup can water

Put chopped cabbage in plastic microwave dish or 3 quart glass casserole dish with cover. Cover and cook for 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, brown beef with onion, salt, pepper and chili powder in fry pan; drain if necessary. Stir in rice and pour over wilted cabbage. (If using a regular casserole dish, you may want to spread cabbage around the bottom and sides of dish making a hollow for the meat mixture in the middle.) Pour soup and 1/2 can water over entire contents of dish. Cook for 16 minutes, check and add other half can of water (more if necessary). Finish cooking, usually 8-10 minutes.
