  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, 1/2 of the garlic, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Set aside to rest.
  • At the same time, combine water and remaining minced garlic in a large pot; bring to a boil. Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • While rice is cooking, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Blanch cabbage leaves in the boiling water until tender and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes. Shock leaves in cold water to prevent further cooking, and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Add condensed soup to cooked rice. Mix in hamburger mixture.
  • Fill cabbage leaves with rice and hamburger mixture, wrapping around the filling to secure. Place each cabbage roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and top with sauerkraut.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cabbage leaves are slightly wilted, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
