Just Like Tony Packos Cabbage Rolls-Crock Pot - Copycat

Excellent job, Ruth! My wife prepared this for my sister (our family is Slovak, so we know our cabbage rolls), and it was excellent! Used a 5-qt crock pot, and one or two comments...first, you have the canned tomatoes mentioned twice...one 16 oz can w/juice should work fine. We actually used a 24 oz can, and the juice was too much, we had to ladle a little bit off. And, we felt the tomatos were a bit too acidic to taste, so we doubled the sugar. Fantastic! Overall, and excellent recipe! Thank you!

This was excellent! The sauerkraut made all the difference. The tomatoes I used didn't have much juice so I added 4 small cans of V-8. I didn't care for the sausage and I think I'll use just hamburger the next time. Thanks so much for this recipe. I really think it is my new favorite!

This IS my new recipe for cabbage rolls. The dish is outstanding and has tons of flavor - most recipes are quite bland. My husband doesn't really care for them (I love them)but this recipe he really enjoyed. After reading the other reviews I just used one 16oz can of tomatoes, undrained, cooked it for 6 hours and it turned out fine. If someone wanted to make it really easy I would consider not even wrapping the meatballs, just put some of the cabbage on the bottom, layer the meat balls next and then the sauce mixture. Now they wouldn't exactly be "rolls" but for ease that step could be skipped. Thanks for sharing - we had a great meal tonight!

Very good - made exactly as stated...but lacking something... can't figure it out - perhaps more salt and pepper - perhaps ??? more spice of somekind - help here, anyone?

A big hit with the whole family. Didn't have tomato soup on hand so used tomato sauce instead of the canned tomatoes. Worked out great.

These were delicious! I took Kachup's advice on this and used only 1 can of tomatoes and doubled the sugar. I used a can of rotel tomatoes because that was all I had since I forgot to buy a regular can. It was really tasty! I made half a recipe and the crockpot I have has keep warm, low, and high settings, it was done in 2 hours on low. Thanks for this great recipe!

This was absolutley wonderful. I followed the recipe with only a minor change - had no tomatoe soup so substitued tomatoe sauce w/ a small amount of water. Hot Hungarian Paprika, oh yeah. Yummo. The only reason I can't give this 5 stars is that it was more than my crock pot could hold. I have a 3 1/2 and there was no way it was going to hold everything. Worked around it with good results, but be forewarned, this recipe is for the larger crock pots. If you have the smaller crock, half the recipe will work fine.

I used to use a recipe out of a Hungarian cookbook, but once I made these, I will never go back. Excellent recipe!

Served as one of the main entrees for our Easter dinner and everyone loved them. I used a 28 oz can of tomatoes for the sauce and omitted the tomato soup. I substituted 2 Tbl brown sugar for the 1 Tbl of white sugar.

I make these often from a recipe for a slightly different version. Mine calls for ground pork instead of sausage. Also, includes a sauce for the finished rolls that calls for cooking two small onions, chopped in one tablespoon butter. To this add 8 oz. sour cream and 1 pound can tomatoes mashed, juice retained. Since we're into spicy, I use Ro-Tels.

I once again logged on to find this specific recipe and realized I had not reviewed it even though this has become the standard recipe for me for cabbage rolls. The only thing I do differently is to cook them slowly in a roaster in the oven and this I do only because I make multiple batches at a time. The aroma, when these are cooking, is terrific ... just makes you happy to be in the house!

Good! The sausage and the sauerkraut add something unique and delicious to this dish. I still make our Grandmom's traditional cabbage rolls but these are our second favorite. I should mention that I halved the recipe and it barely fit into my standard size crockpot. Easy, filling and great family meal!

Amazing cabbage rolls! I've never made cabbage rolls before, but in a fit of nostalgia went looking for a recipe like the one my grandmother used to make. This suited it to a T!! Everyone from my inlaws to my coworkers really enjoyed this. My husband even went back for seconds. The only think I will do differently is to add another can of tomatoes as they seemed to be very popular & made the leftovers a little moister. Thanks for a great recipe!!

FANTASTIC recipe!!!!!! I used only ground sirloin and substituted tomato sauce for the soup. I am making some with TVP (textured vegetable protein) for my vegetarian daughters. THANK you for sharing - I LOVE this recipe! *****
