All the flavors of cabbage rolls in an easy, light and delicious slow cooker cabbage casserole. It's a family favorite!
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 5 cups coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup uncooked, converted rice (I used Uncle Ben's)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 can (14 - 15 ounces) Italian-style tomato sauce
Ideal slow cooker size: 4-Quart
Grease the inside of the slow cooker.
In a large skillet, cook the beef and onion, stirring occasionally, until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any grease.
Scrape the beef and onion mixture into the slow cooker.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. (The cooker will be full, but the cabbage will shrink a lot during cooking.)
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, or until the cabbage is tender.
Next time I'll bulk up this easy cabbage roll casserole even more with another cup or two of cole slaw mix.

Is the Blueberry, Banana, Almond Butter smoothie that you had on the same posting as your crock pot cabbage roll, a Weight Watcher’s recipe? How many points does it have?
Thank you.

Hi Becky,
Yes, if you count the fruit (which I do in smoothies) it has 341 calories and 9 Points Plus. You can lighten the points plus by lessening or eliminating the almond butter.

This was REALLY good! Once I mixed it all together I wasn’t entirely sure it would be super flavorful but it was! I ended up using pizza sauce because that’s what I had on hand. Thank you!
Annemarie
HI I am interested in knowing of the cauliflower rice is also 1/2 cup as well. It does not say in the video and would you thaw it out if using the frozen ones? Thanks. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
Martha McKinnon
Hi Annemarie, since it doesn’t expand and has no points, I would be tempted to use more cauliflower rice. I’d probably use a couple of cups. No need to thaw. Hope this helps.
Annemarie
Thanks so much! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
BJ
Sorry, have you tried freezing this soup?
Martha McKinnon
Hi BJ, It’s really more of a casserole, not a soup and no I haven’t tried freezing it.
Annemarie
HI I made this recipe yesterday with the original flavored cauliflower rice. I worked out really well and tasted very good. Will definitely make again.
Jennifer
The video above the recipe – do not match. I am confused by the video saying beef broth but not in the written directions and one speaks of Marinara sauce and herbs – not in the written one. Are they just 2 entirely different recipes?
Thank you for clarifying – I plan on making one tonight.

Hi Jennifer, I have removed the video. Sorry for the confusion.
