Equipment

  • 1 Large pot
  • 2 Mixing bowls
  • 1 slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 12 - 14 large cabbage leaves
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ pound ground pork sausage
  • ½ cup onion minced
  • ½ cup bell pepper minced
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup rice cooked
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Sauce

  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.
    12 - 14 large cabbage leaves
  • In a large bowl, mix together the filling ingredients until well combined. This is done easiest with your hands.
    1 pound ground beef, ½ pound ground pork sausage, ½ cup onion, ½ cup bell pepper, 1 egg, ¼ cup milk, 1 cup rice, 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients.
    1 (15 ounce) can, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • To assemble, lay out each cabbage leaf, spoon about ¼ cup of filling along one edge. Roll up each leaf, tucking the sides in as you go to completely enclose the filling.
  • Coat the inside of a slow cooker with the nonstick spray, then arrange the rolls along the bottom, seam side down. It may be necessary to stack a few on top of each other.

  • Pour the sauce over the rolls, spreading it out as evenly as possible.
  • Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours, or on low for 7 to 8 hours.
