Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 medium White onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium head Cabbage, roughly chopped
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 2 cups Tomato sauce
• 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and ground pork over medium heat until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess grease.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the meat and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing well. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Spray the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Layer half of the chopped cabbage at the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 6

Spread half of the cooked meat mixture over the cabbage layer.

Step 7

Evenly spread 1 cup of the cooked white rice over the meat layer.

Step 8

Pour 1 cup of tomato sauce and half the can of diced tomatoes with juice over the rice layer.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process (cabbage, meat, rice, and tomato mixture) with the remaining ingredients.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture evenly over the layers in the crock pot.

Step 11

Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well blended.

Step 12

If desired, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow it to melt.

Step 13

Serve the casserole warm and enjoy!
