Crock Pot Cabbage Rolls

1 pound lean ground beef or lamb

1/2 cup cooked rice

1 6 oz. can tomato paste

3/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon leaf thyme

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

12 large cabbage leaves

Wash cabbage leaves. Boil 4 cups water. Turn off heat. Soak leaves in water

for 5 minutes. Remove, drain and cool. Combine ground meat; rice, salt,

pepper, thyme, nutmeg and cinnamon. Place 2 tablespoons meat mixture on each

leaf and roll firmly. Stack in electric slow cooker. Combine tomato paste

and water; pour over stuffed cabbage. Cover. Cook on low setting for 8-10

hours.

These also freeze very well. If doing for the freezer I cook them 6-7 hours

Cool and freeze. Left overs freeze very well also
