Parmesan Italian Cabbage Rolls!

So I decided to write up a recipe this morning and just go for it. There were only two things that I added extra that I didn’t write on the recipe I wrote up this morning (Some how I forgot to think of sucralose & onion powder).  They turned out great, I’ll share the recipe with you!

Ingredients:

• 12 Blanched Cabbage Leaves
• 1 c Chopped Cabbage (I used closer to the center where it’s white)
• 1 lb Ground Beef
• 1 c Fresh Crumbled Parmesan Cheese
• 2 tbsp Tone’s Garlic Powder 
• 2 tbsp Tone’s Onion Powder
• 2 tbsp Tone’s Minced Dry Onions
• 2 tsp Salt
• 2 tsp Pepper
• 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tbsp Oregano
• 2 packets Sucralose
• 2 c Water
• 4 oz Tomato Paste
• Toothpicks

Directions:

1. Start by blanching your cabbage leaves if you haven’t already.  This is simple carefully pull off 12 – 15 cabbage leaves. The recipe calls for 12, but in case you tear one. Heat a pot of water to boiling with about a (additional tsp) teaspoon of salt and drop 6 leaves in at a time, push down into the water and then pull them out.  Place on a cooling rack or whatever you chose. 
2. Make sauce by adding tomato paste, 2 cups of water, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp minced dry onions, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tbsp oregano and the sucralose.  Mix well and start crock pot on high added a quarter of sauce to bottom of crock pot. 
3. Next mix Beef with 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp minced dry onions, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tbsp oregano, 1/2 cup Parmesan crumbles and I used mixer to get it all incorporated! 
4. Next make 12 equal size clumps or small logs of the beef mixture.  Roll each wad of meat into the cabbage leaves and toothpick it closed. 
5. Place the rolls toothpick side down and add the rest of the sauce pouring over all of the rolls, sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the top and cook for 3 hours on high. 
6. After 3 hours have passed simple serve and don’t forget to remove ALL of the toothpicks, I did crumble extra Parmesan cheese for topping.  I sprinkled a teeny bit of mozzarella cheese too. 

Enjoy!
