Surprisingly good & I am NOT a fan of cabbage. :-)

On Daniel fast and this made for the perfect dish. Made this as a meatless dish, minus the cheese and added fiesta corn and salt.

This turned out really really well. I did it in the slow cooker and cooked it on high for 4 hours, adding the cooked rice in the last 45 minutes. I would likely reduce the amount of cabbage I used next time, though I think my "small" head of cabbage wasn't that small because there was a lot of cabbage in this dish. But will definitely make again.

I was a little hesitant to try this, but it turned out great. I added an extra cup or rice and I went with white instead of brown. Overall, it was a very good meal.

I made this recipe just as written and it was PERFECT. My boyfriend couldn't say enough good things. I looked like a kitchen super-star!

It was healthy and good enough the I don't regret trying it, but I don't know if I would make it again.

This is an outstanding recipe, very filling. For all Weight Watcher fans, it is 6 points. I have spread this recipe all over the Weight Watcher community. I used 93% hamburger and 2 cups of brown rice which might affect the points.

I was alittle hesitant to make this but I am so glad I did. It was super. It had a great taste and it made a huge pot full

Everything I thought it would be! A new comfort food on the top of my list - the family loved it. The kids didn't know it was cabbage and I didn't tell them!

I added some garlic powder and I would definitely add some more rice next time. I used 14 oz diced tomatoes and green chilies because that is what I had on hand, turned out fine.

My family Loves this recipe. Instead of the hamburger is substituted soy crumbles.

My husband was a bit skeptical when he saw me cutting up cabbage, but he was VERY pleasantly surprised! We both really liked this one! I made this with extra lean ground turkey and an extra cup of rice. (I made 2 cups on accident) A very yummy comforting dish. The leftovers are just as good!
