cabbage not-chili::
1/2 head cabbage chopped, dump in crockpot with 1 jar spaghetti sauce, half - whole jar worth of water (to rinse out jar), 1 lb browned ground meat (optional, and we like pork), and chopped any other sauteed veggies you like - onion, pepper, etc. cook on low 6-8hrs or high 4-6hrs. serving suggestions: plain, with bread, over rice, with potatoes, etc.
also freezes really really well in in bags for later
could also add potato chunks, corn, any seasonings/spices you like, beans, lentils, etc.

I might try that cabbage not-chili tonight! I needed something for the slowcooker. I have lots of peppers to use up, too.

Sorry, I can't remember if you're a vegetarian, but one of my favorite crockpot recipes for cabbage is pretty simple:

Cut up cabbage, potatoes, baby carrots, yellow onions and smoked sausage and put them in the crockpot. Add chicken broth, salt and pepper and basil, to taste. Add a little olive oil and simmer till the potatoes are done.

I like to serve this with my famous cheesy cornbread.

I am vegetarian wannabe! We probably have meat 2-3 times a week at most.

I'd love your cheesy cornbread recipe. I am making the not-chili recipe that PrincessAnika posted for dinner tonight, so it would be a nice accompaniment. (and I'm hoping the family won't turn up their noses at the addition of cabbage--ever so finely chopped--to their chili!)
