Dump the chopped cabbage into the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the sliced sausage (if using), chopped onions, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. Make sure everything is well-distributed. - Add the Seasonings
Pour the chicken broth (or vegetable broth) over the ingredients. Then, stir in the apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Mix gently to combine all the flavors.
