Here’s a simple, comforting way to make sliced cabbage and noodles in the slow cooker—soft, savory, and budget-friendly 😋
🥬 Slow Cooker Cabbage & Noodles
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 small head of cabbage, sliced
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced

- Optional: smoked sausage, bacon, or ham
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Layer the base
- Add sliced cabbage, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker
2. Add liquids & seasoning
- Pour in broth
- Add butter, salt, and pepper
3. Cook
- Low: 5–6 hours
- High: 2.5–3 hours
- Cabbage should be soft and flavorful
4. Add noodles (important step)
- Stir in egg noodles during the last 20–30 minutes
- Make sure they’re covered with liquid
5. Finish & serve
- Stir well and adjust seasoning
- Serve warm as a main or side
😍 Flavor Ideas

🔥 Tips

- Use butter generously for richer flavor
✅ Why It Works

- Noodles soak up all the savory broth
