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.

      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. 🙂

      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!

      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!

      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.
