WW Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Casserole

You get all the flavors of cabbage rolls in this slow cooker cabbage casserole with a LOT less effort.

I’ll admit that it’s not all that much to look at. But, looks can be deceiving!

Simple and delicious, I’ll definitely be making this slow cooker cabbage casserole again.

What is Coleslaw Mix Made Of?

Coleslaw mix is a prepackaged mix of shredded cabbage (and usually carrot) which is sold in the produce section of most markets in with the other bags of lettuces and greens.  If a store-bought mix isn’t your bag, just thinly slice your choice of green or red cabbage, and/or carrots to make your own. 

Crock Pot Cabbage Roll Casserole Recipe Notes

Using bagged coleslaw mix, keeps the preparation of this soup really quick. You can always shred your own, if you prefer, either with a knife or the food processor (affiliate link). 

I used lean ground beef to make this easy crockpot casserole.  You could easily use lean ground turkey if you prefer.

Additional seasonings: I kept the seasonings super simple. If you want to bump up the flavor consider adding a splash or two of Worcestershire sauce and/or smoked paprika instead of the regular kind.
