Deconstructed Cabbage Rolls
I stumbled upon this make it up as I go along recipe when I realized I had some cabbage left in the fridge. I wanted to make cabbage rolls (what you've never had one?! shame shame) but after a sleepless night I didn't want to do a lot of cooking. So this easy recipe, and I mean easy, was born. This has all the flavours of a cabbage roll but with a lot less work.
1 cabbage head, diced (use a food processor if you got one, saves a lot of time)
1 - ½ lbs of lean or low fat content hamburger (if frozen make sure defrosted)
1 large can of diced tomatoes with juice
Seasonings, whatever you like: garlic, pepper, salt, etc.
Place diced cabbage in your crockpot.
Crumble hamburger on top of cabbage. Yes raw, trust me.
Add seasonings.
Dump in tomatoes.
Place lid on and cook on low for 8-10hrs.
It's ok to stir occasionally.
The fat from the hamburger along with the tomatoes helps soften the cabbage to make it melt in your mouth.
Once done you can serve over rice, mashed potatoes or eat by itself.
Enjoy!
