Ingredients

  • 1 Lbs Ground Beef
  • 1 Lbs Ground Pork
  • 1 Head of Green Cabbage (Remove Core and Cut into 4 Wedges)
  • 1 Medium Onion, Minced
  • 1 28 Oz Can Fire Roasted Tomatoes
  • 1 28 Oz Can Tomato Sauce
  • 3/4 Cup Long Grain Rice
  • 1/2 Cup Beef Broth
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 3 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Spice Mix

  • 2 Tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 Tbsp Onion Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Olive Oil for Browning
  • Oil Spray

Instructions

  • Rinse rice well and set aside.
  • Combine the spice mix spices in a small bowl or measuring cup.
  • In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil and brown the pork, beef and onion together.
  • Once browned, add the beef broth and rice. Mix well over medium heat. Cover and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the tomatoes, tomato sauce, spice mix, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk all ingredients together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spray the bottom and sides of your Crockpot with oil spray to prevent sticking.
  • Then, begin layering the ingredients.
  • Line the bottom with 2 of the cabbage wedges, breaking them apart to cover the bottom of the dish.
  • Add ½ of the beef/pork/onion/rice mixture.
  • Add the bay leaf and ½ of the sauce. I like to put the bay leaf near the side of the dish so I can retrieve it easily after cooking.
  • Make the 2nd layer the same way.
  • Top the entire dish with the remaining sauce. I like to push the cabbage and meat layers a little away from the sides of the dish to let some of the sauce soak through.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
