Description
This Corned Beef & Cabbage (Crockpot) is the ultimate comfort food, featuring tender beef, hearty vegetables, and a hassle-free slow cooking method. Perfect for a cozy dinner!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–4 lbs. corned beef brisket (flat or point cut), (with seasoning packet that is included)
- 1 white onion, sliced, (this is optional but good!)
- 2 lbs. red or gold potatoes, (or a mixture of both!) peel them if you'd like!
- 3 carrots, sliced thick
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 head cabbage, cut into thin wedges
- 1 1/2 cup water, (or see notes below for other liquid ideas)
- parsley for garnish
- melted butter for potatoes if desired
- horseradish or stone-ground mustard
Instructions
- Add the sliced onion to the slow cooker.
- Rinse your corned beef and pat it dry, then add it to your slow cooker, sprinkling over the included seasoning packet.
- Place your baby potatoes on top of the roast. Halve larger potatoes for tenderness. Add the carrots and garlic.
- Pour in the water. Add the cabbage if you want it ultra-tender; otherwise, wait until the last 2 hours to add it.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
- Cook on HIGH for 5 hours or LOW for 8 hours total. (Add the cabbage during the last 2 hours). You may need to rearrange ingredients to fit the cabbage or cut it thinner.
- Transfer the meat to a cutting board (let it rest for 10 minutes) before slicing into strips against the grain.
- Serve the meat with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
- Drizzle melted butter over the potatoes if desired and accompany with horseradish mustard or stone-ground mustard.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of beer or broth in place of some of the water.
Adjust cooking time based on the size of your corned beef to ensure it’s tender and cooked through.
