List of Ingredients
1/2 small head cabbage (read directions before cutting!)
1/3 cup brown rice, cooked
2/3 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 small egg
1/4 cup onion, chopped fine

Recipe
If you haven't already prepared the cabbage, remove cabbage leaves from the head carefully, trying to keep whole. Scald them in hot boiling water just till wilted and then drain them on paper towels to cool. Set aside.
Chop any remaining cabbage and place in bottom of crock-pot.
In a bowl, add meat, rice, onion, egg, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Place about 1/4 cup meat mixture in center of each cabbage leaf; fold edges to the inside and roll ends over the meat mixture. Secure each roll with a toothpick. Place rolls evenly on top of the chopped cabbage in the crock-pot.
Combine tomatoes, V8 juice, thyme and salt and pepper and pour over cabbage rolls. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours.
