Wash cabbage leaves and drop into boiling, salted water long enough to wilt slightly, drain.

Fold each leaf loosely around a "frank", leaving room for rice to swell. Wrap bacon slice around and fasten with toothpick.

Place into simmering tomatoes in large pot or Dutch oven. Cover and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.

Serve hot, using tomatoes as sauce.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
