The easiest way to make Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage is in the slow cooker! The slow cooking makes this beef so tender and delicious.
Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage
A perfect festive dish for the upcoming St Patrick's Day holiday. Here is my original stove top Corned Beef and Cabbage with Horseradish Cream, I also have a Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup. Another festive dinner idea is my lightened up Shepherd's Pie.
Making it in the slow cooker is the perfect solution for a busy schedule. Trim all the fat off to keep it lean. I purchased a 2 1/2 lb piece or corned beef brisket, after I trimmed all the fat off it was 2 lbs. Once cooked it shrunk to 18 oz.
This was my second attempt at this dish in the slow cooker, my first version I put everything in the pot and turned it on. This resulted in overcooked cabbage that turned to mush. Second time around I added the cabbage at the end and it was perfect! I like to serve this with a side if Cauliflower Mash or Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes and a little mustard or horseradish cream on the side. How do you enjoy your corned beef?
And since so many are asking, although I have and love my Instant Pot, I still love my slow cooker! I have the 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set 'n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker (affil link). I love it because you can adjust the time you want it to cook, and it automatically turns to warm when it's done. It also has a probe for meat that automatically shuts off when done. I hated my old crock pot, it burnt everything and my food had a weird taste. This slow cooker is so great, I actually own several!
