All the flavor of cabbage rolls, but none of the rolling. These slow cooker unstuffed cabbage rolls go in the cooker in the morning and are ready when you get home. Start it before work, and dinner is handled.

This is slow cooker season cooking at its best. Ground pork, cabbage, peppers, and tomatoes layer right in the cooker, no browning, no stuffing, no fuss. Serve it over rice and call it dinner.
