Slow Cooker Amish Cabbage Roll Casserole

Step 4: Cook the Casserole

• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours.
• The cabbage should be tender, the rice fully cooked, and the flavors well combined.

Step 5: Add Cheese and Serve

• If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top during the last 15–20 minutes of cooking. Allow it to melt.
• Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.

Tips for the Perfect Casserole

1. Cabbage Choice: Green cabbage works best, but savoy cabbage adds extra tenderness.
2. Rice Texture: Uncooked rice absorbs flavors while cooking, giving the casserole a comforting, hearty texture.
3. Make Ahead: This casserole can be assembled the night before and cooked in the morning for a ready-to-serve dinner.
4. Freezer-Friendly: Cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

Why This Amish Version Stands Out

Unlike traditional stuffed cabbage rolls, this slow cooker version saves time by eliminating the rolling process. It maintains all the flavors of classic Amish comfort food: the sweetness of cabbage, the richness of seasoned meat, and the tang of tomato sauce. It’s a perfect dish for cozy autumn nights, potlucks, or any time you crave a warm, homey meal.

The Slow Cooker Amish Cabbage Roll Casserole is more than just a recipe—it’s a labor-saving twist on a timeless dish that fills your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas and your table with pure comfort.
