We love left over ham recipes around here. And we do love us some cabbage ;). So when I was thinking of a great low carb recipe I could throw into my slow cooker I decided to convert our Crock Pot Pork Chops and Cabbage recipe to a leftover ham recipe. The result was fantastic and this has quickly become one of my favorite was to use up extra ham left over when we use one of our whole ham recipes.
Notes on Crock Pot Ham and Cabbage (Low Carb)
- We have made this dish many times using the left over ham from our Low Carb Crock Pot Ham and our Low Carb Instant Pot Ham.
- If you are looking for more low carb recipes, click here.
- This dish would do well in any traditional 6 quart slow cooker or even the casserole crock.
- If you are not eating low carb and would like to add potatoes, feel free. Depending on how small you chop your potatoes, they may increase cooking time.
- Check out our favorite Slow Cookers, Pressure Cookers, Multi-Cookers and Air Fryers in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

This was so yummy. Added traditional carrots, potatoes and onions, but the broth and butter took this comfort food to the next level.
Making this now with onion & carrots. Going add cooked potatoes after. Can’t wait! My crockpot jammed full
That sounds delicious!
Wonderful! I love cabbage! I added cut green beans, onions, and potatoes. Superb. Thank you!
I’m going to cook this for dinner on St. Patrick’s Day
Delicious, easy, healthy, quick, no-fuss.
So glad you enjoy this, Sue!
Delicious! Easy to get put together for a late lunch. It was healthy, filling and affordable. I’ll be making this wonderful dish on a regular basis. Thanks!
I’m a single man, I don’t care to cook,but this recipe sounds good with a few personal tweaks. My question is how well ,if at all would this freeze. Doing the full recipe is just too much.Doing smaller than the recipe say ,by half, the rest of the cabbage is wasted.
If you froze it and reheated it, the cabbage would probably become too mushy. You might half this recipe, and then use the rest of the cabbage for other recipes that week. Here is a list of recipes using cabbage: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/recipe-index/?fwp_search=cabbage
Hope that helps!
I very rarely EVER leave a review but I had to with this recipe! I followed the recipe as you have it, but added onions, kielbasa and then potatoes at the very end! I must say this was absolutely delicious! I think the butter added such a rich taste. Will make again and again….. thank you for sharing
We’re so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Shannon! Your adjustments to the recipe sound yummy too! Thank you for taking the time to share your comment. We love hearing from our readers!
At what point during the 5-6 hours did you add the potatoes?
Wondered what I was going to do with the ham bone from a pork shoulder I had in the freezer. Was searching for a recipe with sauerkraut and ham, and found this recipe. Am going to cook the frozen bone for 9 hours on low, then remove ham bone and let the crockpot cool down to where the pot won’t crack from the cold. Put it in the refrigerator overnight so I can skim off the fat. Then use the broth to make the recipe adding the cabbage, ham and sliced on a mandolin a large carrot.
How’d it turn out Dave?
As a single older gent, it was delicious although I had to share it, was just too much food. Everybody enjoyed the free dinner. It’s hard to cook for a single person w/o having leftovers.
That’s awesome that you shared with others! I love feeding people (which works well with working for a recipe site! lol). I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Guilty as charged! I added kielbasa to it! Seems like most cooks aren’t any better than me at following directions….😂👍 Thanks for starting me out right!
It’s a rainy day & this recipe will be perfect. Didn’t think about adding potatoes..but I’ll boil some and add it after cabbage is done..I did add some garlic & a little onion. Will let you know how it turns out. I am going to serve with warm bread & butter. My mouth is already tasting it😛
Hope you enjoyed it, LaVerna!
Omgosh. Made it today just got home and man is this good! I couldn’t wait for hubby to get home to try it! Definitely will make again! I followed the recipe but added carrots and potatoes! It’s a winner!
So glad you enjoyed it, Helen!
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and let us know!
Due to age and dentures, I’ve lost a lot of taste and smell. For those reasons, I let a lot of ham fat simmer in my crockpot eliminating it when I placed the soup in serving bowls. I added extra salt and pepper before serving. LOVED IT!!!
So easy..loved it and so did my hubby. I added some minced garlic and diced onions too. I melted some swiss cheese on top of each bowl before serving. I made it in my pressure cooker..amazingly fast too. Sooo good
So glad you enjoyed it, Michele!
Thinking adding some onion would be good too
fantastic receipe I COOKED POTATOES SEPARATE BUT WHEN DONE ADDED TO PLATE WITH CABBAGE ABD HAM ON TOP DELICIOUS FAMILY WENT BOONKERS TATSED LIKE POLISH RECEIPE IN MY YOUNGER YRS THANKS KEEP THEM COMING
So glad you enjoyed it!
Such an easy recipe to prepare and YUMMY to boot!!!! Doesn’t last long in our household!
One of our favorites! So glad you enjoyed it!
Can you have to cook ham first before crock pot?
Hi Nancy-
I’m not sure what you are asking, but if your ham is already labeled fully cooked (most are), you can just cube it up and toss it in. Hope that helps!
Looks amazing making this for a church potluck
Cris, this looks delicious to me!! Cabbage has always been a favorite side dish of mine and adding the ham has to bring it up a notch. I usually cook cabbage with bacon fat…I like the butter idea! Pinning this to try!! As always…love you!!
