Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small cabbage, chopped
• 1 onion, diced

Method

1. Cook the ground beef with onion and garlic in a pan until browned; drain off excess fat.
2. Transfer the beef mixture to the slow cooker along with the cabbage, rice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, and seasonings.
3. Mix everything well, cover, and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours.

5. Optionally top with sour cream and fresh parsley before serving.
