We share recipes and ask and answer questions from “How do you feed your family at night when you don’t walk in the door until 5:30 and you have a soccer game at 6 and piano lessons at 6:15 ... on opposite ends of town?” to “What’s your Thanksgiving menu this year?” to “Remember that punch you made at Christmas? What was the recipe?” So come on in to our virtual dinner group, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let’s start cooking together.
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:
ReplyDelete- 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!
any liquid?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteKatie, 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?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteRegina, I'm sorry I didn't check back last week. I cover with water.
ReplyDeleteBridget, 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!
