Remove and wash 7 or 8 of the larger cabbage leaves. Then blanch leaves in salted boiling water 5 to 10 minutes or until soft and pliable, but not soft enough to easily tear.
Meanwhile combine ground beef, onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder, beaten egg and roll into large oval shaped balls. We used about ¾ to 1 cup per serving.
Place the meatball at the base of the leaf near the stem and roll up, tucking the edges in as you go. Repeat until you’ve used all of the meat.
Place the stuffed cabbage in a large pan with a lid and nearly cover with V8 juice. Simmer covered 45 mins to 1 hour, or until cabbage is tender and meat is cooked through.
