Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 5 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup uncooked instant rice
  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chunky Italian-style tomato sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Cook beef and onion in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.

2. Mix beef mixture and remaining ingredients in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker. (Cooker will be very full, but cabbage will cook down.)

3. Cover and cook on low heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until cabbage is tender.

It is important to cook the ground beef before adding it to the cooker. Because the beef is ground, there is a greater risk that bacteria may start to grow before the temperature inside the cooker gets high enough.

Ingredient Substitution

No coleslaw mix on hand? Substitute 4 1/2 cups shredded cabbage and one shredded carrot. If you own a food processor with a shredding attachment, this is a great time to use it.

Finishing Touch

Place squares of process American cheese over the top of the finished casserole, or sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese. Cover and let it stand a few minutes so the cheese melts. Kids will love it!
