TOMATO SAUCE:
- In a large bowl, combine onions, tomatoes, tomato sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper.
- in 20 cup (5 L) casserole or 2 10 cup casseroles, spread 1/3 of the cabbage mixture, then half of the meat mixture.
- Sprinkle with half the rice, then 1/3 of the tomato sauce.

NOTE:

- To reheat frozen casserole, thaw and reheat, covered, for 30 to 45 mintues at 325F or until heated through. Do not add sour cream until ready to serve.

I followed these directions exactly, but the rice was not cooked at all, the onions in the tomato sauce were not cooked, and overall, I was very disappointed because it sounded like such a good recipe! The sourcream border makes the recipe, though, because without that, all you really taste is brown sugary tomatos. I won't be making it again, but you never know until you try I guess.
