Equipment

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.

Notes

Serving size: about 3/4 cup (1/4th recipe)

Optional Flavor Boosters

While the recipe is delicious as written, you can easily add:

1 to 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 to 2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 bay leaf
A pinch of red pepper flakes

For a more traditional sweet-and-sour cabbage roll flavor, stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons brown sugar.
