I've never had a cabbage roll so I can't compare but we really enjoyed this. I used rotel but I've only seen them in 10oz cans so I used one can and diced 3 fresh tomatoes to make up the difference. I had 16oz tomato sauce so dumped it all in. I did add more Italian seasoning but next time I'd add 1 tbls and more chili pepper but that's just pers. pref. Instead of water I used 1 cup ck broth knowing that I would cook this on low for 6 hours and that it would switch to "keep warm" mode for 4 more hours until I got home. This along with the additional tomato sauce kept my dinner very moist. I had some leftovers for lunch and will freeze the other servings. Served over white rice. Thanks for a great crockpot recipe!

This was very good. I cut the recipe in half, which was not hard to do at all for 2 people. It was way easy and there was leftovers. I added the instant brown rice at the last 30 minutes. Also, added garlic powder and used del monte diced tomatoes with chiles.

This was easy to make and I followed the recipe exactly as written. I was the only one that liked this. I topped mine with some provolone cheese and enjoyed it like that. Everyone else didn't care for this.
