Recipe View Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours, or on High for 4 to 5 hours, until the cabbage is very tender and the filling is cooked through. (Cook time: 8-9 hours on Low, or 4-5 hours on High)

For added flavor, lightly brown the ground beef in a skillet before mixing it with the other filling ingredients.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Cabbage rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking.
Serve these cabbage rolls with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt for added richness.
