2.5 lb Cabbage cored and chopped into wide ribbons
1 cup Yellow Onion sliced thinly, about 1/2 of a large onion
3 cups Ham cooked and cubed
1/2 cup Butter cut into 1 tbsp pieces
2 tbsp Chicken Better than Bouillon low sodium
1 cup Water warm, to mix it with bouillon
2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt you can save this to the end and salt to taste; Use DRDAVINAHS to save on my recommended brand
1 tsp Black Pepper you can save this to the end
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes optional

Cut and core the cabbage into bite sized pieces.
Add the cabbage, onions, ham, and butter to the bottom of the cooking pot.
Mix the bouillon with the water and add it to the cooking pot with the apple cider vinegar.
Close the crockpot and cook on high for 3.5 - 4 hours (enough for the cabbage to get tender)
Stir. Then, add seasoning and salt to taste.

You can substitute the ham for bacon, pancetta, or kielbasa
Check during the last hour of cook time to determine if the cabbage has reached the right level of tenderness for you
Save the salt and black pepper to the end to be able to add it to taste
Omit the red pepper flakes if you don’t want a little spicy kick
Use red or green cabbage
It’s okay to add carrots if you want
