Put raw cabbage wedges straight into your slow cooker and get ready for something surprisingly good.

All you need is:

• 1 head of cabbage, cut into thick wedges
• Butter (a few slices on top)
• Chicken or vegetable broth (about 1 cup)
• Garlic, salt, and pepper for flavor

Place the cabbage wedges in the slow cooker, pour in the broth, and add butter and seasonings on top. Cook on low for 4–6 hours or until the cabbage is soft and tender.

What comes out is buttery, flavorful cabbage that melts in your mouth and tastes way better than you’d expect from such simple ingredients. It works as a side dish for almost anything and always surprises people at the table.
