Bring water to a slow simmer and place cabbage head stem side down in hot water. As the cabbage leave become pliable and loosen away from the head, remove them and place on paper-toweled surface. Continue until there no more whole leaves to be had.

Add ground beef, and sauté just enough to remove the pink color, turn off the heat. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Place the mix in a large bowl.
