I don't know if this will appeal to you but I'm intrigued by it ...
I was thinking of a sauerbraten, since you have enough time but
this would be easy and either interesting or awful .. not sure ;)

Not-Rolled "Rolled" Cabbage
(from Mr. Food)
.
8 servings
.
11/4 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 medium-sized head of cabbage, shredded (12 to 14 cups)
1 can (16 ounces) jellied or whole berry cranberry sauce
1 jar (28 ounces) spaghetti sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
5 gingersnap cookies, crumbled (about 1/4 cup crumbs)
.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg,
salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs (about 1
tablespoon each). Place half the shredded cabbage in a large pot, then
add the meatballs. Spread the cranberry sauce over the meatballs, then
add the remaining cabbage. Pour the spaghetti sauce over the mixture and
do not stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer
(uncovered) for 20 minutes. Stir gently, being careful not to break up
the meatballs. Simmer for another 25 minutes. Add the lemon juice and
cookie crumbs, mix well, and simmer for 15 more minutes.
