If you’re in the mood for a deliciously easy side dish…try this crockpot cabbage and mushrooms! It’s VERY simple, freezes well and prep time takes about 5 minutes.

Crockpot Cabbage and Mushrooms

‘Tis the season for cabbage! Nope, not really. Not yet anyway. That’s in mid-February. Yes, cabbage has its own day. National Cabbage Day is Feb 17^th according to National Day Calendar.

But something about cold weather makes me want cabbage. And soup. And soup doesn’t just get a day. Soup gets a whole month in January! But that’s another story, today is all about making cabbage in the slow cooker…

Slow Cooker Side Dishes

There are MANY side dishes you can cook in your crockpot. Just about anything you can cook in the oven, on top the stove or in a pressure cooker. There’s a version of it for the slow cooker too. And crockpot veggie dishes are no exception.

And this slow cooker cabbage recipe turned out very well. The mushrooms changed it up from being “just cabbage”. And the spicy mustard adds a bit of a twist.

Spicy Mustard Options

The type of mustard you use is going to determine a lot about the taste of this dish. And there are a lot of different types of mustard. I read up on this a little bit. And I couldn’t find a specific number of “kinds”.

Yeah, I’m a nerd that way. I like to know weird things like that. But nope. Not this time. No real answer for “how many kinds of mustard are there”.

I suppose it’s because there are so many ways to process mustard seeds and so many varieties of mustard, there can be a new combination made any time. So, there are LOTS of options. Lots and lots!

So, in my opinion, the best bet is to choose one you either:

Already have in the refrigerator and like
Have eaten previously and liked

Because the wrong mustard is going to kill this crockpot cabbage dish. Or any dish really. So, try it on a sandwich or a brat or something before you do this dish. One sandwich would be better than a full crockpot of cabbage to toss.
