Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 head green cabbage
• 1 kg ground beef
• 500 g ground pork (or sausage meat)
• 1 ½ cup instant rice
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 large onion, ground with onion juice
• 2 cans tomato sauce

Instructions:

• Remove the core of the cabbage with a paring knife. Place the cabbage core-side down in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1 cup of water and microwave on high for 12 minutes. Rinse the cabbage with cold water until cool enough to handle. Remove the leaves that come off easily without breaking. You can cut away more of the core if needed to loosen the leaves.
• Set aside 3 or 4 of the tough dark green outer leaves for later. To remove the remaining usable size leaves, place the cabbage back in the microwave and cook on high for 5 minutes. Repeat the cooling process.
• Mix together the rest of the ingredients and roll up in the cabbage leaves. Line extra cabbage in your CrockpotTM Slow Cooker.
• Place the rolled-up cabbage leaves into your slow cooker and pour tomato sauce over the stuffed rolls.
• Cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours.
• Serve warm and enjoy!
