Put raw cabbage wedges in a slow cooker with these 3 ingredients. It’ll wow you.

  1. Place cabbage wedges upright in the slow cooker.

  2. Pour broth around wedges (not over the top — keeps butter on top).

  3. Scatter butter over each wedge.

  4. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly.


⏱ Step 3: Slow Cook

  • Cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours.

  • Cabbage should be tender, slightly caramelized, and infused with the buttery-sweet flavor.


🍽 Step 4: Serve

  • Use a spatula to gently remove wedges.

  • Spoon some of the buttery-sweet liquid from the bottom over the top.

  • Optional: sprinkle with fresh parsley or drizzle a little extra butter.


🧠 Tips for Perfect Slow-Cooked Cabbage

✔ Keep wedges large — they hold together better.
✔ Don’t stir during cooking — keeps wedges intact.
✔ Brown sugar + butter + slow cooking = subtle caramelization.
✔ For a richer flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar near the end.
