Corned Beef Cabbage Slow Cooked meal is a delicious traditional Irish dish for Saint Patrick’s Day made easy! Add the ingredients, enjoy an Irish cream hot chocolate, and come back to crockpot corned beef!
Corned Beef Cabbage Slow Cooked
Give Alan a nice chunk of beef a spud or two and he’s a happy man. Are you a meat and potato lover too?
Well, then this recipe is for you!
Once you see corned beef in the grocery store, grab it and let the magic of the crockpot do its thing.
Crockpot Corned Beef Is Tender!
Corned beef cabbage slow cooked takes one tough piece of meat and tenderizes it perfectly!
Don’t worry about biting into a tough piece of beef when using a slow cooker. Crockpot beef is tender!
You’ll also be happy to know that the vegetables soak up the flavors from the beef adding lots of depth to the meal. Mmmm, delicious.
Use the spices that come with the brisket. The ready made seasoning packet simplifies this meal. No measuring spices necessary. Open that packet and place in in the slow cooker!
All the ingredients will cook for about 6 hours on high temperature. Add the cabbage during the last hour of cooking. Cabbage softens up fairly quickly compared to the potatoes and carrots.
Leftover Corned Beef
There is usually enough corned beef to be enjoyed for several meals. The leftovers can be used to make complete new dishes like these:
- Classic Reuben Sandwich – Deli sandwich made by stuffing toasted rye bread with corned beef, sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing.
- Cheesy Reuben Appetizer – Easy to make appetizer.
- Leftover Corned Beef Hash – Quick and easy meal for breakfast or brunch.
- Corned Beef and Cabbage Chowder -A dish that I think will make you crave corned beef and cabbage more than once a year!
- How about dipping a warm slice of Guinness Beer Bread in the chowder?
Do you have a favorite Irish dish that you enjoy year after year?

I’ve never made corned beef. I need to try this!
Sandra Shaffer
I’ve been making it only for a couple of years. Slow cooked is the way to make it for sure!
Erica (@Erica's Recipes)
I have never made corned beef but your looks delicious it’s making me want to try! Slow cooker brisket can come out dry but yours looks nice and juicy, maybe it’s the seasoning? Looks awesome.
Sandra Shaffer
Thanks, Erica! It cooks in lots of liquid, so it would be super hard to dry out in a slow cooker!
Sheena @ Hot Eats and Cool Reads
I love that you made this in the slow cooker! Sounds fabulous!!
Sandra Shaffer
It came out so tasty and it was super easy too, which is always a good thing with me 🙂
Renee's Kitchen Adventures
Yup, exactly how I make corned beef! Thinking about leaving the potatoes out this year and making mashed red potatoes instead of boiled ones though. Now if corned beef would just go on sale! Man, it’s so expensive here right now! haha Your dish is making me crave it now!
Sandra Shaffer
The mashed potatoes sounds gooood! It’s gotta go on sale – maybe after St. Patrick’s Day?
Michelle @ The Complete Savorist
OMG, this makes me so excited to make my favorite Irish feast. YUM

This is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day since it is on a weekday this year! 🙂 You can let your slow cooker do the work all day and come home to a perfectly Irish meal. Love this!

Bam's Kitchen
Beautiful roast and perfectly cooked. I have never made this before at home and now that I live on the other side of the pond this is not something you can find in the stores so guess can just look at your delicious photos! Sharing of course!
Sandra Shaffer
Thank you! So true, I don’t imagine this would be popular in Hong Kong!! 🙂
Char W
What a great hearty meal. My husband is always cooking this so at least I now have a recipe I can follow to try for him. Thanks so much.
Elisa
Does this really cook for 6-7 hours on high? Most slow cooker recipes that I use do 3-4 on high or 6-8 on high. Just want to be sure dinner isn’t ready way too early. 🙂
Elisa
I meant 6-8 on low. LOL
Sandra Shaffer
Hi Elisa! The time is correct, although your slow cooker’s temperature gauge may vary from mine. Enjoy!!
Elisa
Thank you. 🙂
Sue
Which kind of corned beef is the best? Flat or point?
Sandra Shaffer
Hi Sue! It really is preference. Flat is lean and point is marbled with more fat. Both are delicious, but if you can’t decide get the whole brisket and enjoy both cuts!
Julie Menghini
I’m way too excited for this corned beef and cabbage meal! It looks perfectly cooked and perfectly yummmmmmy!
Brandi Burgess
I need to try this! I haven’t made corned beef before!!!!

Heading to the store tomorrow to pick up corned beef, this looks delicious!
