Description
This Corned Beef & Cabbage (Crockpot) is a hearty, flavorful dish featuring tender brisket and fresh vegetables. Ideal for a comforting dinner with simple prep, it’s a delightful way to enjoy classic flavors with minimal effort.
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 the corned beef and pat it dry. Place it in the slow cooker and sprinkle the seasoning packet over it.
- Layer the baby potatoes on top of the brisket. Halve larger potatoes to ensure they cook through. Add the carrots and garlic.
- Pour the water over the ingredients. If you prefer ultra-tender cabbage, add it now; otherwise, wait until the last two hours to include it.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
- Set to HIGH for 5 hours or LOW for 8 hours total (add the cabbage during the last 2 hours). You may need to rearrange the ingredients to fit the cabbage properly.
- Once done, remove the brisket and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Serve the brisket alongside potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
- If desired, drizzle melted butter over the potatoes and serve with horseradish or stone-ground mustard.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using beef broth instead of water.
For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Feel free to add more vegetables like celery or parsnips for additional taste.
