Ah! This is a classic slow-cooker cabbage wedge hack — super easy and incredibly flavorful. Here’s a detailed guide for making it:

 Slow Cooker Cabbage Wedges with 3 Ingredients

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

• 1 medium green cabbage, cut into 6–8 wedges (keep core attached so wedges hold)

• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

• ½ cup butter (cut into small pats, or use ghee for richness)

• ¼ cup brown sugar (or maple syrup for a sweeter twist)

Optional:

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• A few slices of bacon for smoky flavor

• A pinch of red pepper flakes for mild heat

 Step 1: Prep the Cabbage

1. Remove outer leaves if wilted.

2. Cut cabbage into wedges, leaving the core intact to hold each wedge together.

3. Optional: season lightly with salt and pepper.

 Step 2: Arrange in Slow Cooker

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.
