- Assemble in Slow Cooker: In a large slow cooker, combine the browned meat mixture, chopped cabbage, carrots, beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and uncooked rice.

- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the cabbage and carrots are tender, and the rice is fully cooked.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and taste to adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, optionally garnishing with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream for extra richness.
