Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make frozen cabbage rolls in tomato sauce in the slow cooker? Start by gathering your ingredients. I use store-bought cabbage rolls here, but you can make your own. They keep well in the freezer right up until you cook them, and there's no need to thaw them first.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Peel and rinse the onion and carrot. Grate the carrot on a box grater and finely chop the onion.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Pour a little vegetable oil into the slow cooker insert and set it to the "Sauté" setting. Add the prepared onion and carrot to the hot insert. Cook the vegetables for 2–3 minutes, until they soften and turn fragrant.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    In a measuring cup, stir together the water, tomato paste, and flour. The flour gives the tomato sauce a light body.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Pour the tomato sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the insert and bring it to a simmer. Season the sauce with a little salt and spices to taste — I added a pinch of ground black pepper and some paprika.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Nestle the frozen cabbage rolls into the sauce. Switch the slow cooker to the "Bake" setting for 30 minutes. Close the lid and let them cook, turning the rolls once or twice along the way. When the time is up, the cooker will beep to let you know the cabbage rolls are done!

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Transfer the finished cabbage rolls to a plate and serve them hot. Enjoy!

  • Keep in mind that the cooking time and setting given here are approximate. Every slow cooker behaves a little differently — even two of the same model can vary. Before making a new dish in yours, read through its manual, and get a feel for it by cooking familiar dishes first, then branching out to new ones, dialing in the setting and time for your own machine.
  • If you're using a ready-made spice blend, read the label first. Many blends already include salt, so factor that in or you risk over-salting.
  • For the best flavor, use filtered or bottled water with a neutral taste. Tap water can lend the dish an off, chemical note.
