Ingredients

12 to 15 large cabbage leaves
1 pound lean ground beef

1 lg. container V-8 juice

To taste salt
To taste pepper

serves 6

Wash cabbage leaves. Boil 4 cups water. Turn heat off. Soak leaves in water for 5 minutes. Remove, drain, and cool. (soak in water as needed to just make plyable for rolling).

Cook ground beef and brats about halfway just to render grease, drain.

Combine all ingredients except V-8 juice and rotel. Place 2 tablespoons of mixture on each leaf and roll firmly (insert tooth pick to hold together). Stack in Crock-Pot. Pour V-8 juice and Rotel over stuffed cabbage (you can add more V8 or a little water to make sure all is covered.) Cover and cook on Low for 8 t o 10 hours.
