Looking for Info on Crock Pot Cabbage Rolls

[SnowFlakey]

Ok, so ive been making cabbage rolls for years the old fashioned way but i want to use my crock pot to make them this time. Has anyone ever dont crock pot cabbage rolls? I will be using 2 cabbages to its a big recipe. Will they all fit in the crock pot? Do i make them the same way and just put them in the crock pot and then slow cook them? Or is there a little trick to it? I dont need a recipe, i just need some information on crock pot cabbage rolls. This is for Easter dinner and we will be a gang.

I checked with Google and, i dont know, i think i would prefer hearing from someone who has actually done them in a crock pot.

I have made them once and turned out fine and yummy. I rolled them up tight and made three layers of cabbage rolls and then poured over tomato juice and sauce - turned it on high and cooked for 5 hours or so.

I dont' know about a crock pot, but i've done them in a roaster on the counter. from scratch. i think as long as the CP is on a continuos cook all day. whether its low or high it should be fine.

Ok, i made cabbage rolls for Easter sunday in a crock pot this time. I made them the same way as usual, stacked them in the crock pot and added a bit of water and a few cans of heinz tomato juice and set it on low for 8 hours. They turned out great! The only thing i would do differently would be to add tomato juice between layerings. I used 2 heads of cabbage for the holubtsi and they all went. Thought i would share this with everyone in case you want to try in a crock pot.

Thanks for letting us know! The only drawback I could see is that they would seem steamed, rather than roasted, as when done in the oven.

Strange, ive never roasted my holubtsi, ive always boiled them on top of the stove. Never even knew you could roast them! My mother always boiled them that way also.
