makes 12 rolls, serving is based on two rolls


1/2 cup uncooked white rice
12 leaves cabbage
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup minced onion
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 In a saucepan bring salted water to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

2 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil cabbage leaves 2 minutes; drain.

3 In large bowl, combine 1 cup cooked rice, egg, milk, onion, ground beef, salt and pepper; stir well to combine. Place about 1/4 cup of meat mixture in center of each cabbage leaf, and roll up, tucking in ends. Place rolls in slow cooker.

4 In small bowl, combine tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice and Worcestershire. Pour over cabbage rolls. Cover and cook on low 8 to 9 hours.

I added a can of diced tomatoes to the sauce. Plus garlic for the ground beef stuffing! It really was great!

    yup you can, but make a little extra sauce to freeze along, I find that they soak up the sauce when you freeze them.

    I made this tonight... I loved it!!! But my husband hates cabbage... I really have to make it when he's not home-the smell of cabbage throws him off.

    Next time, I'm using the filling for bell peppers-I think it would be good for that, too!!!

    Thanks, Fitchick!!!:flowerforyou:
