My mother and grandmother made these but I never got their recipes, I watched though.
Had some nice big 12-lb cabbage to use up and the good 90% lean burger was on sale, 3.5-lbs.
First I cooked up the fillings: seasoned burger (black pepper sage rosemary and thyme), rice , and onion red peppers and garlic.
Had to use my biggest 6-gal pot to blanch the cabbage and soften outer leaves
Peel off the outer leaves and chill in cold water, I saved the center for coleslaw
Cut the spines out of the leaves
Mix the fillings and load up the leaves, then fold the packet up
Load the crockpot up, add some of the cabbage water from blanching, and top with smoked peppered
bacon.
I put the cooker on low for 8 hours, I forget to get picture of that. They were good!
