Description

Discover how to make the best Cozy Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage with this step-by-step guide for amazing flavor. This ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ recipe delivers fork-tender beef and sweet vegetables with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3-4 pound) corned beef brisket (flat or point cut), with spice packet
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 4–6 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 3–4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 1.5–2 pounds red potatoes, quartered or halved if small
  • 4–6 cups beef broth or water
  • 1 small-medium head green cabbage, cut into 6–8 wedges
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • 1. Prepare the Corned Beef: Rinse the corned beef under cold water to remove excess brine. Trim off any thick fat layers, leaving a thin layer for moisture.
  • 2. Layer the Foundation Vegetables: Place onion quarters, smashed garlic, carrot chunks, and potato pieces in the bottom of a 6-quart (or larger) slow cooker.
  • 3. Position the Corned Beef & Spices: Place the rinsed corned beef on top of the vegetables, fat side up. Sprinkle the pickling spice packet (included with beef) and add bay leaves over the beef and vegetables.
  • 4. Add Liquid and Set to Cook: Pour beef broth or water into the slow cooker, ensuring the beef is at least halfway submerged. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the beef is very tender.
  • 5. Incorporate the Cabbage: 1.5 to 2 hours before the end of cooking (or 45-60 minutes if on high), add the cabbage wedges to the slow cooker, gently pushing them down into the liquid. Recover and continue cooking until the cabbage is tender.
  • 6. Rest, Slice, and Serve: Carefully remove the corned beef to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 15-20 minutes. Slice the corned beef against the grain. Serve the sliced beef with the cooked vegetables and plenty of savory broth from the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
