Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage

Sue Lau's Note:

Hearty stick to your ribs cooking. Great for St. Pat's Day or New Years. Has a nice sauce or serve with lots of grated horseradish.

Servings: 8

• 4 red potatoes , chopped into chunks
• 4 carrots , chopped into chunks
• 1 onion , cut into wedges
• 2 -2 ½ lbs corned beef brisket (with seasoning packet)

Directions:

1. Place the potatoes, carrots, and onions in the bottom of the crock pot.
2. Top with the brisket and sprinkle meat with the seasoning packet.

6. Place cabbage in crock pot; cook on high for 30-35 minutes or until cabbage is cooked to your liking.
7. Mix together applesauce and mustard, and use as a sauce for the meat, if desired (prepared horseradish goes well also).
8. Slice meat thinly across the grain and serve hot with cooked vegetables.

Yes, sir!!! It's a great! recipe, Sue. Use the veggies as you said, except the potates. Instead of the applesauce-mustard, I used Recipe#13326 for the beef. YUM! Will use this recipe again.

This is a great way to do corned beef. I just started it in the crockpot in the morning and had my DH do the cabbage part when he got home. It all came out tender and delicious, and the broth is a treat in itself. The sauce -- you sorta go "huh?" when you see the recipe and again when you mix the sauce, but it's quite good with the meat! Made for Please Review My Recipe March 2008.

This was pretty good and we loved the corned beef but the veggies were kindof bland and overcooked- I was wondering if it would have been better if we cooked all the vegetables with the cabbage after the meat was cooked. Loved the sauce though! Thanks for sharing!
