Meijer recipe of the week- slow cooker cabbage rolls

Bargain Meal of the Week

I am sticking with my Irish theme this week. Meijers has heads of cabbage this week for .19!! (I also use cabbage in my beef vegetable soup- it really thickens it up and tastes great! ) This week I will be making slow cooker cabbage rolls. I hope your lads and lassies love them!

Check out Stretching a Buck deals here to see more deals at Giant Eagle. I will not expense spices/oils since most of us have them on hand. W/c means with coupon.
