Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 head green cabbage, chopped
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 15 ounces tomato sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture on top of the cabbage layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the cooked rice over the beef mixture.

Step 6

Pour half of the diced tomatoes (with juice) and half of the tomato sauce over the rice.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process with the remaining cabbage, ground beef mixture, cooked rice, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce.

Step 8

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the layers in the crock pot.

Step 9

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or until the cabbage is tender.

Step 10

Once fully cooked, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Cover and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Crock Pot Cabbage Roll Casserole!
