Default Hungarian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

I found Mom's recipe. I have no idea if this is 'authentic' to Hungary
or anywhere else. I'm typing it exactly as she wrote it. My
comments are in brackets.

8 large green cabbage leaves

Stuffing:
1 c. cooked [ah ha!] long grain rice
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 c. minced onion
1 large egg

Cook cabbage in 4 quarts boiling water, 5 mins. Drain. Combine
remaining ingredients (except sauce). Divide into 8 equal portions -
wrap each portion into a cabbage leaf. Secure with a toothpick. [I do
remember her using toothpicks!]

Combine all ingredients in a large pan. Bring sauce to a simmer over
medium heat. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, 1 hour.

Sauce/gravy:
1 can tomato soup [I'd used tomato puree and adjust the amount]
1 c. water [not sure about this unless you're using canned soup]
1 c. chopped onion
4 Tbs. sour cream

Cook the cabbage rolls in this.

That's all she wrote.
