Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cabbage, chopped
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

- Layer half of the chopped cabbage in the bottom of the crockpot. Spoon half of the meat mixture over the cabbage. Repeat with the remaining cabbage and meat mixture.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the cabbage is tender and the rice is cooked through.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last 30 minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt.
