- 7. I placed my filled rolls on a cookie sheet until ready to place in the crock pot. With the extra cabbage, chop it up in pieces. Pour your chicken broth in a large crock pot and place the chopped cabbage on top of that. Place your cabbage rolls carefully on top of that. Turn your crock pot on high for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the cabbage is tender (but not falling apart)
- 8. Just before your cabbage is finished, in a medium saucepan, put in your jar of sauce and about 1 cup or more (depends on how much you like)of your extra meat filling. let that simmer.
- 9. When the cabbage is finished, scoop up about one cup or more of the extra cabbage from the bottom of your crock pot and put it in your sauce. Let that simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- 10. Serve your cabbage rolls with the sauce poured on top and sprinkle with shredded cheese. I cooked up some noodles and poured some extra sauce on top of that for a side.
- 11. The broth and cabbage pieces left over in your crock pot can also be served on the side as soup, just add some spices to season. YUMBO!
