Lazy Canadian’s Crock Pot Cabbage Rolls

What do you do when it’s cold outside and your Honey brings you home a 5+ pound head of cabbage? It’s cabbage roll time!

Now my Mom taught me the old-fashioned way: roll up the meat, rice & spices into balls, wrap them in cabbage leaves and roast them in the oven with the tomato juice. But my dear, sweet, highly effective hubby suggested I try it the bachelor lazy man’s way.

And it worked like a dream! Seriously, there was practically no work except for the cabbage debris from the chopping and maybe the dishes.

But, hey, if you cook, it’s only fair that someone else does the dishes. Right?

This recipe will suit those with sensitive taste buds; and for people who like a little more zip, try a little hot sauce or add a little more sea salt!
