Fried cabbage
 

It really isn't fried except for at the beginning. Some people use bacon but I had some smoked ham with ham fat so I used that, fry it up with a chopped onion, I used a sweet onion. Instead of using my slow cooker I just used a large steel pot.
Cut up a cabbage and put it in the pot along with the onions. Just cover with chicken broth and then cook until the cabbage is as tender as you like it. Add some sliced Eckrich sausage (to taste, 1/2 to 1 lb.) and a lot of black pepper, two tablespoons or so, and cook another 15 minutes. Serve with cornbread made in a skillet.

I've made similar with a sliced rib of celery included (cut it in half or thirds, then slice thinly longways) and cook it in browned pork sausage.

Add a couple cans of diced tomatoes, white rice, and enough water so the rice doesn't dry out just before simmering and you have unstuffed cabbage rolls. I usually add a few Tbsp of Italian spice when using mild sausage.
