Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage 2 to 2 1/2 lbs, cored and thinly sliced into ribbons
- 12 oz wide egg noodles uncooked
- 1 cup 2 sticks salted butter, melted
- 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Cabbage: Remove tough outer leaves, quarter the cabbage, remove the core, and slice into 1/4-inch thin ribbons.
- Grease Slow Cooker: Lightly grease a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with a small amount of the melted butter.
- Layer Cabbage: Spread half of the cabbage ribbons evenly across the bottom.
- Layer Noodles: Scatter half of the uncooked egg noodles over the cabbage. Avoid packing them too tightly.
- Season: Drizzle half of the melted butter over the noodles and cabbage. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Repeat: Add the remaining cabbage, then the remaining noodles. Drizzle with the rest of the butter and the remaining pepper.
- Cook: Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours or LOW for 4 to 5 hours. Do not lift the lid during the first 2 hours.
- Toss: Once the time is up, gently toss the ingredients together. The cabbage should be tender and caramelized at the edges.
- Finish: If noodles aren't fully soft, cook for another 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with extra pepper if desired.
- Serve: Switch to the "Warm" setting and serve directly from the slow cooker.
