Cabbage Roll Casserole (Crock Pot Version)

Cabbage Roll Casserole is a super easy meal that you can prepare any day of the week.

Cabbage Rolls are delicious!  I grew up on cabbage rolls made by my mom and grandma!

Recently, I’ve been making a cabbage roll casserole…  so much quicker than rolling up the rolls themselves and equally delicious!

Here is one of my favorite things about recipes!  You start with one thing and along the way the recipe gets tried and modified and shared and passed on.  Finally, you may end up with something else that was just as wonderful or sometimes even better!

Last week, a reader had asked me if my Cabbage Roll Casserole recipe would work in the slow cooker…  I hadn’t tried it!  Well, Sue tested it out and I knew I had to try it out right away!  I had a couple of different items in my pantry so I modified it a tiny bit further but let me tell you, the results were AMAZING!!  This is my favorite cabbage roll dish yet!  So a special thank you to Sue for inspiring this yummy recipe, you won’t be disappointed!
