If you’ve never been a lover of cabbage, these crock pot stuffed cabbage rolls just may make you one. It’s converted many!
I have to admit something to you….my mother makes the best stuffed cabbage rolls in the world.
My mother says that the student surpassed the teacher, and I take that as an immeasurably great compliment. In fact, she is a person who always manages to find a needle in a haystack, all with the aim of improving quality.
p.s. I’ll let you know a secret…the more you reheat it, the tastier it gets.

1 egg, beaten
Cut approx 1/4 inch off the bottom of the cabbage head and place the whole head in boiling water.
Boil about 2 minutes. Peel off the softened leaves.
Place remaining head back in the boiling water and repeat until all of the leaves are removed.
(You can freeze cabbage then thaw and skip the boiling part. We just need the leaves soft enough to roll)
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, uncooked rice, 1/4 cup water/broth or tomato sauce, garlic powder,pepper, salt, sugar, onion.
Stir in egg and combine well.
Whisk together tomato sauce, tomato soup, paprika and Worcestershire sauce in another bowl.
Use the left over cabbage to cover the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place 1/3 cup meat mixture in center of leaf and roll up like a burrito.
Place cabbage rolls seam side down in slow cooker, in two layers so they are touching but not over crowded either.
Mix all sauce ingredients together and pour over rolls.
Cover and cook on low 7-9 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours.
* You can cook the rice prior to adding it to the meat mixture,
if desired (just follow the rice manufacturer's directions for cooking),
