Crock Pot - Cabbage Rolls

I have German heritage in my ancestry ... and I truly enjoy cabbage. There is something so comforting about a pot of cabbage rolls on a cold winter day, and "yes" the house smells like cabbage - which, to me, is more than acceptable. Serve this dish with simple boiled potatoes with butter, salt & pepper. I love it with wonderful, crusty bread to "sop up the pot lickins".
