Cabbage Rolls

This is very popular with everyone I ever make it for. It's simple, and with the crockpot, makes for a nice hot meal at the end of a long day. As a side note, I've recently started using crockpot bags, from Reynolds, which makes clean up SUPER easy for this dish. Well worth every penny. I also double the sauce, because we like lots of sauce, and I don't like the top ones to get dry. You will need to check on the capacity of your crockpot to make sure there's room to double these.
