Description

A cozy, tomatoey, and simplified version of traditional cabbage rolls made in a slow cooker.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small head green cabbage, chopped
  • 14-ounce can petite diced tomatoes
  • 6-ounce can tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the ground beef. Brown until just slightly pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet along with the dried thyme, dried parsley, red pepper flakes, and kosher salt. Cook until the onion softens, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Transfer the beef and onion mixture to the slow cooker. Add the chopped green cabbage on top.
  4. In a mixing bowl, stir together the petite diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup water until well combined.
  5. Pour the sauce evenly over the meat and cabbage in the slow cooker. Gently stir to combine.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, or until the cabbage is tender. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Notes

Browning the beef builds flavor. For a thicker sauce, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
