Here’s a slow, cozy version of cabbage and noodles you can make in a crock pot—perfect for hands-off cooking and deep flavor.
🥬 Crock Pot Cabbage and Noodles
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 small head green cabbage (chopped)
- 1 onion (sliced)
- 3–4 tbsp butter
- 2 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp paprika (optional, for warmth)
- 250–300g egg noodles
- Optional: garlic, smoked sausage, or bacon
🍲 Instructions
1. Load the crock pot
Add cabbage, onion, butter, broth, and seasonings into the slow cooker. Stir lightly.
2. Cook low & slow
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
Until cabbage is soft and flavorful.
3. Cook noodles separately
Boil egg noodles on the stove according to package directions. Drain.
4. Combine & finish
Stir cooked noodles into the crock pot during the last 10–15 minutes so they absorb flavor.
🍽️ Serving ideas
- Add black pepper and a little extra butter on top
- Serve with sausage or fried eggs for protein
- Great as a side or simple main dish
🧠 Tips
- Don’t overcook the noodles in the crock pot—they can get mushy
- For richer flavor, brown sausage or bacon first and add it in
- A splash of vinegar at the end can brighten the taste
This version keeps that old-school comfort food feel but makes it much easier with a slow cooker.
If you want, I can give you:
- a budget 3-ingredient version
- or a low-calorie lighter version without losing flavor
