1. Brown the Beef & Aromatics

  • Add onion; cook 4–5 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute.
  • (Optional: skip browning and add raw beef directly to slow cooker but browning adds richness!)

2. Combine in Slow Cooker

  • Transfer beef mixture to slow cooker.
  • Add cabbage, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, rice, brown sugar, herbs, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir well.

3. Cook Low & Slow

  • Do not lift the lid early rice needs consistent heat to cook evenly.
