Preparing a classic St. Patrick’s Day dish has never been easier with this Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe. This meal requires minimal prep time, allowing the slow cooker to do most of the work, resulting in tender, flavorful corned beef complemented by perfectly cooked cabbage, carrots, and potatoes.
The recipe begins with placing onions at the bottom of the slow cooker, followed by the corned beef and its seasoning packet. Carrots, potatoes, and garlic are added next, along with water for cooking. While the cabbage can be added at the beginning, adding it during the last two hours of cooking ensures it doesn’t become too soft.
This dish cooks on high heat for about 5 hours. After this initial cooking period, potatoes and cabbage wedges are added around the corned beef. The recipe calls for a 4-pound corned beef brisket and suggests cooking in four cups of water. For an enhanced flavor, the use of a dark beer like Guinness is recommended.
The recipe is versatile, allowing for variations like using different types of potatoes or adding them peeled. It serves around 6 people and proves to be an effortless way to enjoy this traditional dish.
