Notes
I used a 4 qt slow cooker. I was able to fit all of the cabbage into the pot all at once. If you are not able to add all of the cabbage, wait until some of it cooks down, then add the remaining cabbage when you are able to. Also, I used water. However, you can replace the water with chicken broth if you choose.
