Season the ground beef with salt and pepper in a large skillet. Brown the ground beef for 5 minutes, then add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Continue to cook the meat until it is no longer pink.
Take the skillet off the stove and drain the ground meat.
The cabbage should be cut in half and the core removed with a sharp knife. Cut the cabbage pieces into large pieces using a cutting board or mat. Put the chopped cabbage in a colander. Rinse well. Let the moisture drain.
Half of the chopped cabbage should be placed in the bottom of a slow cooker. I used a 7-quart slow cooker.
Half the ground beef, one teaspoon salt and one teaspoon garlic powder, and the diced tomatoes should be added to the crockpot.
Place the remaining cabbage pieces in a crockpot and then spread the ground beef on top.
Combine the condensed tomato soup cans and 1 cup water in a small bowl. Mix the ingredients together in a small bowl or spouted measuring cup.
Cover the crockpot with a lid and cook for 4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low, or until the cabbage becomes tender.
Serves 6-8.
You can also serve it with white rice cooked in a saucepan.
