Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Stew is a total comfort food for me. I used to make a great cabbage roll soup, which I will post sometime soon, but this stew is truly something special.

The anniversary of my dad’s death is almost here and this soup reminds me of him. He was awesome and I miss him terribly. He loved my cabbage roll soup and said he loved my cabbage roll stew even more.

My mother used to make cabbage rolls regularly and as she got older just stopped.  He loved them and thought this stew was the perfect solution!

Sometimes with rice and sometimes without. He said it was delicious both ways and we happen to agree. Hopefully you will too.  I hope you will take a moment to let us know what you thought in the comments section below!
