Cabbage Rolls

Time = 1/2 hr active (8 hrs total)

Servings = 6

Ingredients:

1 large head cabbage

1 lb ground beef

3/4 c uncooked rice

1/2 onion, diced

1 garlic clove, diced

1 egg, beaten

1/3 c milk

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 jar prepared marinara sauce

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

1.  Bring a very large pot of water to boil.  

2.  Cut the bottom off the cabbage and add to water.  Boil for 2 minutes.  Remove  from water and pull off soft leaves.  Add back to water for 30 seconds.  Remove and pull off soft leaves.  Keep going until you have 12 leaves softened and removed.

3.  In a bowl, mix beef, rice, onion, garlic, egg, milk, salt and pepper.  Use an ice cream scoop to put roughly 1/4 cup of beef/rice mixture into each cabbage leaf.  Fold leaf like a burrito and place, seam side down, in crock pot.
4.  Pour marinara sauce and Worcestershire sauce over.  Cook on low for 8 hours.

Notes: 

* I served with a side spinach egg noodles and kale with a garlic infused olive oil.  It was a perfect green dinner for St. Patrick's Day.
