My Slow Cooker Cabbage Rolls recipe is one of my most popular recipes on this blog. Recently someone asked if I had a version that wouldn't require her to roll the cabbage rolls. Voila, here you go with this unstuffed cabbage roll recipe.

What Type Of Ground Meat To Use

I used ground beef but you can use ground beef, turkey, chicken, pork or sausage. For the slow cooker, I like to take the time to browned my beef beforehand so I can drain the excess grease. If you're using a very lean meat, you might find that you don't need to take this step.

Turn This Into Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Soup

Unstuffed cabbage roll soup is a popular recipe. I'm a little souped-out at the moment but you can easily turn this recipe into a soup by simply adding an additional 5 cups of low-sodium beef broth.

Using Cauliflower Rice

This is low-carb, paleo, whole30 recipe so I used cauliflower rice instead of traditional white rice.  You can use fresh or frozen cauliflower rice. I prefer to use fresh but frozen works too. Most times I use a full two cups of riced cauliflower, but sometimes I like to only 1 cup. What you see in the pics and video is 2 cups of cauliflower rice. Anything more than 2 cups you will need to add more broth.  While I have not tried using regular white rice, I imagine this recipe would work if you stirred cooked white rice into the dish after it's done cooking.
