Boil a large pot of water and add the cored cabbage head, cover, and boil for about 10 minutes.

Remove outer leaves of cabbage as they become tender, and return the cabbage to the pot to boil for an additional 10 minutes if needed.

In a bowl, combine ground beef, diced onion, 1.5 cups of rice, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika; mix thoroughly with hands.

Remove cabbage leaves and cut off the thick ridge to make them easier to roll.

Take a cabbage leaf, place filling in the center, fold the sides, and roll tightly, placing seam-side down in a roasting pan.

Mix 3 cans of tomato soup with 3/4 can of water in a separate pot, then pour over the rolled cabbage in the pan.

Cover and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 1.5 hours.
