Ingredients

– 1 large head of green cabbage, chopped
– 1 lb ground beef (or turkey, for a lighter option)
– 1 large onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
– 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar

– 1 teaspoon dried oregano

– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Slow Cooker Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls is a breeze when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Cabbage: Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Cook the Ground Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat with diced onion until brown and cooked through. Drain excess fat and add minced garlic; cook for another minute.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked meat and onion mixture with cooked rice, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper until well blended.
4. Layer the Slow Cooker: Place half of the chopped cabbage in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with half of the meat mixture. Repeat with the remaining cabbage and meat mixture, creating layers.
5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours, until the cabbage is tender and flavors meld beautifully.
6. Garnish: Once cooked, fluff with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
