Corned Beef Dinner – Crock Pot

“This was my very first corned beef I ever made. I made on St. Patrick’s day for company and everone LOVED it! The potatoes came out wonderful!! We also made reubens out of some of the corned beef. I made a point of telling everyone “DON’T EAT THE CARROTS!!” It was a very fun evening! Thanks!”

“DH brought home some corned beef (which I’ve never made before) so I tried this recipe. I couldn’t find any small cabbages so I tried one large one instead. Very tasty, I had been half expecting to hate corned beef and was pleasantly surprised.Thanks”

“this was the leanest corned beef i have ever made, i used a 6 qt crockpot, layered the bottom with the sliced onion, 10 med red potatoes, halved, unpeeled, 2 handfuls of baby carrots, put a 4 lb corned beef atop, doubled the broth mix and i could barely shut it, but a few hours the kitchen smelled wonderful. afterhours i turned the beef over and added the cabbageThis wonderful meal was devoured, the full house and extras loved it! “

“I used a mixture of two recipes.I used this one (only a 1/2 cup of bouillon, used a 4lb brisket, 2 medium onions, 1 head of cabbage cut in small wedges) and added 1/2 tsp of pepper, 3 tbsp cider vinegar, 3 tbsp sugar and 2 cups water.Served with the Mustard Sauce (#21617).Everyone LOVED it.I will make this every St. Patty’s Day; it was so easy!Also, the broth from the recipe was wonderful so we used it to make soup!”

“What a great meal!Smells so good when you arrive home from work and tastes just as great!What an easy weekday meal and everyone cleaned their plates!Even my DH that said he didn’t like corned beef – asked for seconds.Made recipe exactly as posted – except didn’t have caraway seeds.”

“Cooked on high 7 hours~~added cabbage at the 5 hour mark.Next time, I will add cabbage at the beginning and add more worcestershire sauce & garlic salt.Also, I’ll cook at least 10 hours on low and cut the veggies into smaller chunks to make sure they get all done.They were still fairly crisp.This was great with Mustard Sauce #21617”

“Much faster and easier than using the traditional one the stove method.I used beef broth and added red potatoes; omitted the celery.Thanks!”

“I used this recipe as my first attempt at preparing corned beef also. I was very pleased by how easy it was to prepare and how tasty it was as well. Thank you for making my family’s St. Patrick’s Day so special!”

“This was great. added sweet potatoe as well as ord, left out celery & caraway seed as cant stand them. Only cooked it for six hrs on high in crockpot. Done to a turn. In ausie we call the beef corned silverside. My hubby normally hates silverside but loved this. Thanks Derf.”

“Quite excellent! Such an easy recipe and loved the flavor. I let it cook for about 11 hours, adding the cabbage the last two hours. I was thinking it might be too salty because of the bouillon, but it wasn’t. The leftovers made a great reuben sandwich. Thanks for posting the recipe.”

“This was the first corned beef I’ve made and it turned out great.I didn’t have all the vegetables to add in with it (just put some onion on the bottom) but it wasn’t lacking any flavor at all.I did find it to be a bit on the dry side after I sliced it up so I tossed the slices back into the cooking liquid for a little bit and it soaked up the juices and was perfect.Thanks for a great recipe :)”

“Made this tonight for St. Patty’s Day and it was a big, big hit with the whole family.The cabbage wasn’t quite done after an hour and a half, so next time I will put it in a little earlier.Otherwise, it was great!Thanks for posting!”

“I absolutely love this recipe. It has been de rigueur as the annual St. Patrick’s Day corned beef for several years now in my home.It is a five star recipe.
I have made it several times following the recipe exactly, and it is great.”

“this was the best corned beef recipe i have ever made! i put the ingredients together in the morning and put them in the crock pot. It was done by the time i got home from work. all i had to do was add the cabbage. was excellent. Thanks for sharing.”

“This is my first attempt at making Corned Beef. My mother had always boiled it, and was not very appealing to me. I saw it was on sale at my local grocery store, and decided to give it a try. I have to tell you, that I misread the recipe and did not mix all the spices together and pour on top or the meat, but instead poured it over the potatoes and other veggies. This was wonderful, this going to be my go to method for cooking corned beef from now on. Thank you for posting!!!”

“This was my first attempt at Corned Beef and it turned out pretty good. I skipped the celery, mustard and caraway seed. I added pepper, onion and garlic powder.I used a 2.6 lb point cut and cooked it for 2 hrs on high and then 4 hrs on low, adding the cabbage for the last hour. The meat was falling apart and shredding when it was done so next time I think I will buy a slightly larger flat cut and cook on low for the entire time.”

“Very nice tasting corned beef.Next time I will use low sodium beef broth instead ofthe beef bouillon.Will make again soon.Thanks for posting.”

“I cook for my husband, son, and parents, and everyone loved this.My mother is ill and barely eats, but she ate more of this meal than she has eaten in months.That is a true testament to how good this is.”

“Ahhh… this was great! My husbands only suggestions was less potatos and more cabbage- but I thought it was perfect. My family wants to have this dish much more often– it was that good.”

“”Dinner ruled” is the review from DH.I used baby carrots, red potatoes, and lower sodium corned beef and beef broth.The meat, etc., cooked for 10 hours, and I added the cabbage for the last 2 – it was on the large side, so it needed the extra time.It was great to come home in the evening and have everything ready to go.Thanks for posting!”
