Cabbage Rolls instructions

3. In a large bowl mix all ingredients except tomato sauce. Use half of the diced tomatoes saving the rest for later. I used nitrile gloves to keep my hands clean..
4. Remove cabbage and peel leaves. With sharp peeler run along spine to reduce thickness.
5. Place leaf with thick end away from you. Put some meat mixture on the leaf roll and fold ends (like a burrito) try to keep it tight..

8. Set crock pot to low for 8 hours. I like to probe after 8 hours. A reading of 160 degrees insures hamburger is cooked..
9. Make some mashed potatoes, use sauce/gravey from crock pot over potatoes and cabbage rolls. Enjoy.
