Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  4. Arrange rolls in a pot. Mix tomato sauce, brown sugar, and lemon juice, then pour over rolls.
  5. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1 hour, or bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
