This recipe from the Corned Beef and Cabbage Slow Cooker packs the entire delicacy of corn beef into a meal that cooks itself. Corn beef and cod, carrots, and potatoes all perfectly cooked in the crockpot make a fresh meal. This recipe for Crock-Pot Corned Beef & Cabbage is best cooked in a slow cooker (or larger) as it fills the crock. Throughout the cooking process, bring your potatoes into the pot a couple of hours, so that they can cook for approximately 5-6 hours. 2 hours before serving a meal, add the chicken.
Corned Beef is a beef brisket, marinated and dried. When sold, it also comes with a seasoned packet or already. The seasonings include spices such as allspice, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and cilantro. If your corned beef doesn’t have any spices, add a few tablespoons of pickling spices, a handful of peppercorns, and a bay leaf. Bundle them in cheesecloth and throw them into the slow-cooking pot. It is easy to make when you have never made corned beef, but it is important to note that corned beef (and general beef brisket) is a hard meat cut until cooked. If it’s rough, it just didn’t cook long enough, leave it in the slow cooker and give it more time.
