Instructions

Take one of the cooked cabbage leaves and place a spoonful of the beef and rice mixture in the center. Fold the sides of the cabbage leaf in and roll it up. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.
Place the cabbage rolls in the slow cooker and pour the remaining sauce from the skillet over the rolls. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the cabbage is tender.
