Buttered Cabbage
The traditional Irish preparation of this dish would have been in a cast iron pan over an open flame and ‘fried’ or cooked in a dutch oven on low heat. We are going to get out of tradition just a little bit and cook the cabbage in a crockpot because I am still trying to work on my inner crockpot diva.
Meaning, there is an honest attempt on my behalf to use my crockpot a little bit more.
There are many variations of buttered cabbage. You can add onions, potatoes and even bacon.
I’m pretty much the only one in my house who likes cabbage. Once in a while I can sneak it in something like boiled dinner. Cabbage has a tendency to take on the flavor of the items its being cooked with so they don’t seem to mind its brothy flavor in soup form.

What is your favorite way to enjoy cabbage?
I never thought of it that way before but I like the idea of the buttered cabbage. Must taste real yummy.
It does taste wonderful. Add a little cracked pepper and sea salt. Delish. Simple, too.
My husband would love this! Thanks for linking up with the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party. I have pinned your post to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Board!
Absolutely awesome!!
I have made this a million times and LOVE it!! I think I am going to try to add some beef kielbasa this time 🤷♀️ Not that this recipe needs a thing, it is scrumptious and easy, ya can’t beat that 🙂
Haven’t tried it yet. I have a question ⁉️
Can I use a medium head and a stick of butter? It reads a 1/2 of large cabbage. How much pepper and salt?
This is one of those recipes you can easily tweak to make your own per taste preference. You can use a medium head and as much butter, salt, and pepper as you would like to taste. If you are using salted butter you may not need as much added salt.
I have a larger cabbage and can I cook carrots with it and use chicken broth?
Absolutely! Just add a bit more of the ingredients to cover the size/volume of a larger head of cabbage and the addition of carrots!
