It looks like cabbage rolls before being covered

That would be slightly off-putting but not necessarily repulsive if
reasonably spiced.  I'd much prefer ground pork or even ground beef
(which is the way my mother made cabbage rolls).

 Or both pork and beef.
 

Yep!  And if I remember correctly, there was cooked rice added to the cooked ground meat.

Joan's right, though.  More tomato sauce is needed, and not straight
from the can.  It needs to be flavored with onion, garlic, salt, and
pepper (at least).
 

I think my mother used canned tomato juice, not tomato sauce, to simmer the cabbage rolls in.  I could be wrong.  I've got my mother's recipe around here somewhere.  I know they were delicious but also a lot of work to assemble.  And I think she simmered them in a large pan on the stovetop, not baked in the oven.
