NOTES : Having lived for years in my husband's home state of Texas, there is no other salsa or picante sauce than PACE!

 

I usually decide to cook them the morning I want them so I just put them in the crockpot, cover them with at least 1" of water and cook them all day. They turn out just as good as soaking overnight.

NOTES : I cook and drain the ground beef before I put it in the crockpot. It isn't necessary if you use extra lean beef but I have issues with fat.

 

As is the recipe is 7 points per serving but the servings are HUGE! If you changed it to 8 servings it would be only 5 points. Depends on how hungry you are!

Bumping this up. The cabbage roll casserole is simple and wonderful.

[Peaches6311 10]

For the cabbage roll casserole, do you need to cook the ground beef first?

[cheryl39 1]

Peaches, I'm guessing no. You don't when you roll them up the old fashioned way.

hope that helps
