Crockpot Cabbage Roll Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium head cabbage, chopped
• 1 cup uncooked rice
• 2 cans (15 ounces each) tomato sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic until the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture, uncooked rice, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil. Stir until well mixed.
3. Layer half of the chopped cabbage at the bottom of your slow cooker.
4. Add half of the beef and rice mixture on top of the cabbage, followed by a layer of tomato sauce. Repeat the layers with the remaining cabbage, beef mixture, and sauce.
5. Pour the beef broth over the entire casserole.
6. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the cabbage is tender and the rice is fully cooked.
7. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
