Ingredients:

1 large head cabbage

1 can ( 8 oz. ) no salt added tomato sauce

1 small onion, chopped

1/3 cup uncooked long grain

2 tbsp. chili powder

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/8 tsp. salt

1 lb. lean ground beef ( 90% lean )

1 can ( 15 oz. ) tomato sauce

Directions:

1. In a Dutch oven, cook cabbage in boiling water just until leaves fall off head. Set aside 12 large leaves for rolls. (Refrigerate the remaining cabbage for another use). Cut out the thick vein from the bottom of each reserved leaf, making a v-shaped cut.

2. In a large bowl, combine no-salt-added tomato sauce, onion, rice, chili powder, garlic powder and salt. Crumble beef over mixture, mix well. Shape into 12 balls. Place one meatball on each cabbage leaf, overlap cut ends of leaf. Fold in sides, beginning from the cut end. Roll up completely to enclose meatball. Secure with toothpicks.

3. Place in a 5-quart Slow Cooker. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over cabbage rolls. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until meat is no longer pink and cabbage is tender. Discard toothpicks.

Bon Appetit!
