Cook cabbage in boiling water just until outer leaves pull away easily from the head. Set aside 12 large leaves for rolls.
In a small bowl, combine the beef, pork, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, onion, rice, parsley, salt, dill, and cayenne; mix well.
Cut out the thick vein from the bottom of each leaf, making a V-shaped cut. Place about 1/4 cup meat mixture on a cabbage leaf; overlap cut ends of leaf. Fold in sides. Beginning from the cut end, roll up. Repeat.
Slice the remaining cabbage; place in a Dutch oven. Arrange the cabbage rolls seam side down over sliced cabbage.
Combine the tomatoes, sugar, and remaining tomato sauce; pour over the rolls.
Cover and bake at 350°F until cabbage rolls are tender.
