Crockpot golumpki are an easier way to get the cabbage roll flavors you love. It is basically a cabbage roll casserole that is slow cooked while you go about your day. It is so much easier and just as tasty.
In a large skillet cook the 1 pound ground beef and 1 small onion over medium heat until the meat is browned.
Stir the 1 cup long grain rice, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspon ground black pepper into the meat.
In a large bowl, stir together the 24 ounces spaghetti sauce, 10¾ oz can condensed tomato soup, 1½ cups water, and 2 teaspoons sugar.
Chop the 1 medium head cabbage into bite sized pieces.
Layer ⅓ of the cabbage in a slow cooker. Top with ½ of the meat mixture, then ⅓ of the cabbage, the remaining meat and the rest of the cabbage. Pour the tomato sauce over everything.
Cover and cook on low until the rice and cabbage are tender, 6-8 hours. Stir and then serve.
Notes
You can use bulk sausage in place of the ground beef if desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended, it changes the texture.
