  1. 1

    Use a 6-quart slow cooker. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, rice, egg, allspice, dill, parsley, and juice from 1 lemon.

  2. 2

    Mix well with your hands to combine. Drain and rinse the grape leaves. Put a small amount of the meat mixture into each leaf, and roll to form a little packet (shiny side of leaf should be facing out) (Ms. O'Dea estimates about 24 packets).

  3. 3

    Place the wrapped packet into your stoneware. Repeat until you run out of filling or leaves; it is ok to stagger-stack.

  4. 4

    Squeeze the juice from the other lemon over the top. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is fully cooked.
