Mix chili powder and 1/2 tsp. salt into tomato sauce and set aside.
Mix the beef, onion, garlic, egg, rice, remaining salt, pepper, and place about 1/4 cup of this mixture into the middle of cabbage leaves and roll into several bundles.
Layer in crock pot in this order: 1/3 sauerkraut, 1/3 sauce mixture, 1/2 cabbage bundles, repeat, ending with the last layer of sauerkraut and sauce on top.
I cook about an hour on high, to bring it to a simmer, and then about 4 to six on low, until the rice is done but not too mushy. This freezes very well. A nice accompaniment is mashed potatoes and tomato gravy and fresh or frozen corn.
