Ingredients
- 1 head cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion finely diced
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 28 ounces can crushed tomatoes
- 1 can tomato sauce 15 ounces
- 2 Tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 Tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Remove the outer tough leaves from the cabbage. Place the cabbage (core side down) in a large microwave safe dish and pour approximately 1/2 cup of water around the cabbage.
- Microwave for 10 minutes. Carefully flip the cabbage over in the dish and microwave for another 10 minutes.
- Let the cabbage cool slightly (so you can handle) and carefully remove the leaves from the cabbage. You will need 14-16 cabbage leaves. Set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the ground beef, onion, rice, minced garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- In a separate dish whisk together the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar.
- Cover the bottom of the crock pot with any excess cabbage leaves. Then pour 1/3 of the sauce into the crock pot on top of the cabbage leaves.
- Then it’s time to prepare the rolls. Place approximately 3 tablespoons of the ground beef mixture into the center of each cabbage leaf.
- Fold up the sides of each cabbage leaf and roll the leaves to form a small burrito and place it seam side down into the crock pot. Continue this process until you have 1 layer of cabbage rolls in the crock pot.
- Top with another 1/3 of the sauce mixture.
- Follow the same process to form the remaining cabbage rolls with the remaining leaves and mixture. Make a 2nd layer of cabbage rolls in the crock pot and top with the remaining sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the rolls reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Then the cabbage rolls are ready to serve and enjoy!
