Crockpot Corned Beef and Cabbage is one of those easy, hearty meals that always feels a little extra special, whether it is St. Patrick’s Day or just a cozy weekend at home. The slow cooker makes the corned beef wonderfully tender while the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage soak up all that savory flavor.
Wash the 2 pounds red potatoes and cut into large chunks. Chop the onion into large pieces as well.
Add potatoes, ¾ pound baby carrots, 1 onion, 5 cups water and 2 beef bouillon cubes to a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker. Nestle the 3-4 pounds flat cut corned beef brisket in with the veggies.
Cook on high for 6-7 hours or low for 7-9.
Cut the 1 small head cabbage into 8 wedges (or chop into chunks for quicker cooking). Add to the crockpot and cook for 1-2 more hours, or until the cabbage is cooked to your liking and the corned beef is tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the corned beef and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Be sure to slice it against the grain.
