Corned Beef & Cabbage in the Crockpot

Kate: I know that you have done your CB&C in the crockpot. What do you do?

  1. I put everything but the cabbage in the crockpot on Low for 8-10 hours or High for 4-5 hours. I add a bay leaf, about a teaspoon each of black peppercorns and whole cloves. About a half hour before I'm ready to serve, I either:
    - put the cabbage in and turn the crockpot to High, or
    - take out the meat and veggies, put the cabbage in, and turn the crockpot to High.

    The cabbage cooks quickly and the meat and other veggies stay hot a long time from cooking in the crockpot for so long.

    Enjoy it!

  2. I add beer and water to cover:) I do find the CB really shrinks in the Crock pot, more so than in the pot. I'm undecided whether to put it in in the am, or have it ready in the fridge and have m4 put it on the stove when he gets home at 2:45 pm.

  3. Katie, I should have called you yesterday. I attempted to make corn beef and cabbage because yours was so delicious. Mine came out OK but a bit stringy not as moist as yours. I will try the crock pot next time. Is there a certain cut you buy?

  4. I brought 3 Corned Beefs this year. St. Patty's Day I cooked 2, so we could have leftovers for Corned Beef Hash. After cooking and comparing I will always pay the extra money for the Boars Head, less fat, easier to cut and overall better! I am convinced, not worth the fat and the falling apart.

  5. Regina, I'm sorry I didn't check back last week. I cover with water.

    Bridget, which did you do? I would've done all day.

    I bought exactly the same kind of corned beef and my last one came out tough. I cooked 3 for my family, hoping to have reubens, and there was about enough meat left over for 2 sandwiches. (Fed my inlaws too.)

    As far as I'm concerned, the falling apart is the best part!
