2. Layer the Slow Cooker
Add potatoes first, then onions, and place cabbage wedges on top.
3. Season & Add Butter
Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly, then add butter pieces throughout for a rich flavor.
4. Add Liquid
Pour water gently around the sides. This helps create a savory, buttery broth as it cooks.
5. Cook Until Tender
- LOW: 6–7 hours
- HIGH: 3½–4 hours
The vegetables should be soft, tender, and full of flavor.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Spoon broth over the vegetables and serve warm for the ultimate comfort food experience.
