Slow-Cooker Corned Beef & Cabbage
A traditional St. Patrick’s Day meal made easy in the slow cooker. Delicious made with melt-in-your-mouth corned beef brisket!
4-6 servings
Preparation time: 8 hours 15 minutes
Ingredients
2-3 pound corned beef brisket, with spices and juice
10 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-2 inch chunks
2 small onions, coarsely chopped
8 small red potatoes, unpeeled
12 ounces dark beer (such as Guinness)
3 ½ cups water
10 sprigs fresh thyme
1 head cabbage, chopped
Directions
- In a large slow-cooker, place the corned beef on the bottom (do not rinse; allow all the juices from the packaging to go inside the slow cooker).
- Layer with carrots, onions and potatoes. Top with sprigs of thyme.
- Pour the beer and water over the ingredients.
- Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Once the corned beef and vegetables have cooked, move around the vegetables to make room for the cabbage. Submerge the cabbage in as much liquid as possible, place the lid back on the slow cooker and cook on high for 1 hour.
- Slice the corned beef against the grain and serve with a grainy mustard.
