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?

March 2, 2015 at 4:32 pmI 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
March 5, 2015 at 8:07 pmThanks, Erica! It cooks in lots of liquid, so it would be super hard to dry out in a slow cooker!

March 2, 2015 at 6:22 pmYup, 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
March 5, 2015 at 8:09 pmThe mashed potatoes sounds gooood! It’s gotta go on sale – maybe after St. Patrick’s Day?

March 7, 2015 at 1:51 amBeautiful 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
March 8, 2015 at 11:13 pmThank you! So true, I don’t imagine this would be popular in Hong Kong!! 🙂

March 13, 2015 at 12:05 pmWhat 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
March 17, 2016 at 10:57 amDoes 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
March 17, 2016 at 11:01 amI meant 6-8 on low. LOL
Sandra Shaffer
March 17, 2016 at 11:07 amHi Elisa! The time is correct, although your slow cooker’s temperature gauge may vary from mine. Enjoy!!
Elisa
March 17, 2016 at 1:50 pmThank you. 🙂
Sue
March 14, 2017 at 6:14 pmWhich kind of corned beef is the best? Flat or point?
Sandra Shaffer
March 14, 2017 at 6:38 pmHi 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!
