Directions
Carefully cut around cabbage core, and place the head in boiling water for about 10 minutes. Remove and let drain. This will make the cabbage leaves limp and easier to work with. When cabbage is cool enough to handle, remove eight leaves.
Meanwhile mix the ground beef with the cracked wheat, mustard, egg, salt, and pepper, and milk.
Divide mixture into eight equal portions, place a portion on the stem end of each cabbage leaf, and roll up.
Ends of rolls can be trimmed and then tucked in place.
Place rolls seam side down, in a circle in a three quart round microwaveable casserole.
Mix together the brown sugar, tomato sauce and lemon juice. Pour mixture over stuffed cabbage rolls.
Cover casserole dish tightly and microwave on high for 7 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook as cabbage leaves can become tough.
