1. **Prepare the Cabbage**:
– Begin by washing the cabbage and cutting it into wedges. You can cut the cabbage into 6-8 wedges, depending on the size of your head of cabbage. Keep the core intact to hold the wedges together while they cook.
2. **Place in the Slow Cooker**:
– Lay the cabbage wedges flat in the slow cooker, stacking them gently if needed. Ensure they fit comfortably in the slow cooker, but don’t worry about them being too tight—it’ll still cook evenly.
4. **Season**:
– Sprinkle the seasoned salt (or your preferred salt and seasoning mix) evenly over the cabbage. If you’re using regular salt, you might want to add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
5. **Cook on Low**:
– Cover the slow cooker and cook on **low heat** for about **6-8 hours**. The cabbage will slowly soften and absorb the rich, buttery flavors, becoming tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
