I'm planning to make Slow Cooker Cabbage rolls soon and I need some side dish ideas. Both crockpot and stove top ideas are welcome. The cabbage roll recipe came from this community.
Slow Cooker Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients
24 leaves cabbage (I used Jersey Wakefield which are large and dark green.)
2 cups cooked rice (I used a brown and wild rice blend, since it’s what was in the fridge.)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup onion, minced
2 pound ground beef (Use the leanest you can get since it cooks in the slow cooker.)
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 (15 ounces each) cans tomato sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil cabbage leaves 2 minutes; drain.
2. In large bowl, combine rice, eggs, milk, onion, ground beef, salt, and pepper. Place about 1/4 cup of meat mixture in center of each cabbage leaf, and roll up, tucking in ends. Place rolls in slow cooker.
3. In a small bowl, mix together tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over cabbage rolls.
4. Cover, and cook on LOW 8 to 9 hours.
