Print Recipe

A slow cooker is an absolutely wonderful and foolproof way to cook your Corned Beef and Cabbage.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket
  • 6 ounces beer, apple cider or apple juice (optional)
  • Water
  • Onion, diced
  • Small red potatoes, peeled (or unpeeled) and halved
  • 6 carrots, halved
  • 1 large head cabbage, cut into 8 wedges

Basic Spice Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 2 or 3 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Rinse the corned beef and pat dry.
  2. Rub the seasoning packet evenly over the entire surface of the corned beef. If there is no seasoning packet, use the Seasoning Mix recipe.
  3. Place corned beef in slow cooker.
  4. Add the beer or apple cider, if using.
  5. Barely cover with water.
  6. Add onion.
  7. Cover and cook on LOW for 9 to 11 hours or on HIGH for 4 1/2 hours.
  8. During the last few hours, add potatoes, carrots and cabbage.*

Basic Spice Mixture

  1. Mix all ingredients together, crushing the peppercorns slightly, if desired.
  2. Store in an airtight container for up to six months.

Notes

* Many prefer to cook the potatoes, carrots and cabbage separately on the stovetop. There is usually not enough room in the slow cooker for all the vegetables. Cabbage wedges take up a lot of room!
