Slow Cooker Corned Beef with Cabbage

An easy slow cooker recipe for tender corned beef with vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights or relaxed weekend dinners.

  • Total Time: 495 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3–4 lb corned beef brisket
  • 1 pickling spice packet
  • 12 cloves garlic (4 minced, 8 whole)
  • 1 large onion (peeled and quartered)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 lb carrots (cleaned and tops trimmed)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (cleaned)
  • 1/2 head cabbage (chopped)
  • 1 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Rinse the corned beef brisket and place it fat side up into a 6-qt slow cooker.
  2. Add the pickling spices on top of the meat.
  3. Mince four garlic cloves and add them to the slow cooker. Stuff the beef with four garlic cloves and add the remaining whole cloves.
  4. Cut the onion into quarters and add to the crockpot with bay leaves.
  5. Pour beef broth and water over the brisket until lightly covered.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours, until tender.
  7. Add carrots and potatoes after 3–4 hours. Add cabbage during the last 2 hours.
  8. Thinly slice the corned beef and garnish with parsley. Serve with carrots and potatoes.

Notes

Pat the brisket dry before searing for a deeper crust if desired. Don’t overfill the slow cooker; vegetables need room to steam. Adjust salt only at the end as corned beef can be salty.
