Cabbage is by far my favorite vegetable and I eat a lot of it on New Year’s Day, but not so much the whole year-round, so I’m always on the lookout for a good cabbage recipe that can inspire me to eat more of the delicious cabbage that I love so much. I was so pleased when I found this delicious Stuffed Cabbage Recipe on YouTube and the best part about it was that I could make it in my other favorite thing in the whole world and that is my crockpot. So with minimal preparation, I started this recipe by getting all my ingredients in one easy access area next to my trusty crockpot.
Ingredients:
- 1 head of green cabbage
- 2 pounds of ground beef
- 1 pound of ground pork (or sausage meat–I used turkey sausage)
- 1 1/2 cups “instant” rice (I used Minute Rice–but you can use regular rice)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 teaspoons salt (I used 1/4 tsp and that didn’t seem to be enough)
- 1 large onion, ground with onion juice 2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce
Directions:
First, you core your cabbage with a small paring knife.
Then set your cabbage (core side down) in a couple of inches of water and microwave for 12 minutes.
Then mix all your meat, rice, and seasoning ingredients.
Then line the bottom of your crockpot with the outer cabbage leaves.
Then stuff your other cabbage leaves (deveined at the base) with balls of your meat mixture.
Then pour tomato sauce over cabbage rolls and cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
These cabbage rolls are so delicious and easy, I highly recommend this recipe.
