  • 1 can (46 ounces) V8 juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

  • Cook cabbage in boiling water just until leaves fall off head. Set aside 12 large leaves for rolls; drain well. (Refrigerate remaining cabbage for another use.) Cut out the thick vein from the bottom of each reserved leaf, making a V-shaped cut; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the tomato sauce, rice, green pepper, cracker crumbs, egg and soup mix. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.
  • Place about 1/3 cup meat mixture on each cabbage leaf; overlap cut ends of leaf. Fold in sides, beginning from the cut end. Roll up completely to enclose filling. Secure with toothpicks if desired.
  • Place cabbage rolls in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Pour V8 juice over rolls. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until filling reaches 160°. Just before serving, sprinkle with salt and cheese if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

The recipe calls for 46 ounces of V8 juice.  Is this a misprint?

Instead of V8 try crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, garlic powder $ onion powder[or fresh] S&P to taste, Also if you stir some of this mixture into the meat before you wrap them you will be fhocked at the taste.
