Cabbage and Meatballs

Ingredients:
*1 head cabbage, chopped
*3 lbs. ground meat (I use turkey but anything or a combination of different ground meats will work.)
*1/2 onion, minced
*medium zucchini, shredded (optional)
*2 tsp. ground coriander
*2 tsp. garlic powder
*2 pints tomatoes, do not drain  (or 2 - 15oz cans if you don't have home-bottled tomatoes)
*handful baby carrots or a couple of regular carrots
*salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1.  Spread half of cabbage in bottom of slow cooker.

2.  In large bowl, mix meat, onion, spices, salt and pepper with hands until veggies and spices are evenly distributed.  

3.  Form meatballs.  (Make into about 2-inch balls.)

4.  Place meatballs on top of cabbage.

5.  Place remaining cabbage over meatballs.  Add carrots.  Pour tomatoes on top.

6.  Cook on low for 6 hours or until meatballs are done.

7.  Remove and discard carrots before serving.*

Notes:
*Usually sugar is added to recipes calling for tomatoes due to the acidity of the tomatoes.  Carrots supposedly absorb some of the acid, make the sugar unnecessary.
