Meatball Cabbage Rolls image

My mother often had these cabbage rolls simmering in her slow cooker when my family and I arrived at her house for weekend visits. The mouthwatering meatballs tucked inside made these stand out from any other cabbage rolls I've tried. -Betty Buckmaster, Muskogee, Oklahoma
