My fly by the seat of your pants Crock Pot Easy Cabbage Roll Casserole.   

it was a bit bland so i think next time i might try mom's secret... a pack of onion soup mix in with the meat instead of the garlic/salt/pepper.

Ingredients:
1-2  pound extra lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
about 3 cups tomato sauce, no sugar added
about a cup of V8 juice, low sodium
1 can tomato soup
1/2 - 3/4  cup uncooked minute rice
1 small head cabbage, chopped

Directions:
In large skillet, combine beef, onion, garlic and salt and pepper.
Coo****il browned. Drain excess fat. Mix in the rice and tomato sauce.

Layer 1/2 meat and then 1/2 cabbage in cooker, Top with remaining meat and then the cabbage.  Pour tomato soup over all and mix a bit. Add the V8 in too for a bit more moisture.


Mix well.  Cook on high for 2 hours then on low for about 3-4 hours.

YUM! Works for me, thanks for posting the recipe.

I have been making a skillet version of this for many years and LOVE it! I add a pinch or two of chili powder. I don't use tomato soup, just tomato sauce and sometimes a can of chunky tomatoes. 

 Sounds yummy!  I'll have to try this one!
