🥔🥬 Slow Cooker Cabbage & Potato Bake
Ingredients

- 4–6 potatoes, quartered
- 3 simple ingredients:
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- Add butter or oil between layers for richness.
- Season generously with salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you like.

This simple slow cooker method gives a tender, flavorful, and filling dinner with minimal effort — exactly the kind of recipe people request again and again.
If you want, I can also make a version with protein included that’s still vegetarian-friendly and keeps that “everyone asks for it” appeal.
