Corned Beef and Cabbage Slow Cooker Recipe

Make Corned Beef and Cabbage Slow Cooker Recipe for tender brisket and hearty veggies with effortless slow cooking.

Ingredients

• 3 to 4 pounds corned beef brisket (uncooked, with spice packet)
• 1 onion
• 3 cloves garlic (sliced)
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 ½ to 3 cups water
• 2 pounds potatoes (peeled* & quartered)
• 2 large carrots (chopped)
• 1 small head green cabbage (cut into wedges)

Instructions

Step 1: Layer the aromatics and brisket

Chop the onion into large, rustic chunks and arrange them in a shallow pile — this will be the fragrant cradle for the meat. Place the uncooked corned beef brisket (fat cap up if present) directly on top of the onion and sprinkle the included seasoning packet over the top. Tuck two bay leaves beside the meat and set aside a small ramekin of sliced garlic. This is the simple, foundational assembly that sends savory steam into the meat as it begins to slow-cook.

Notes

• Rinse the brisket briefly to reduce excess salt if desired.
• Add cabbage during the last 1 to 1.5 hours to avoid overcooking.
• Keep some cooking liquid with leftovers to preserve moisture when reheating.
• Slice the brisket against the grain for the most tender bites.
