are you supposed to put the potatoes and onions in whole or cut them up?
I put the potatoes and onions in whole. If the potatoes are very large, I quarter them.
My mom used to make corned beef and cabbage in the slow cooker all the time, but i don't remember how exactly. i know she put the corned beef in the slow cooker for awhile, then put in the cabbage a little later, but i don't know how long to cook it for? on high or low? and when to add the cabbage? Also, the corned beef came with a season packet, so i guess that needs to go in when i put the meat in, is there any other seasonings i should put in? We also have some carrots and a few potatoes i.... More
As stated above 8-10 hours on low. Add the cabbage 1 1/2-2 hours before serving. Or cook it on the side until tender-this takes about 15 minutes in my experience. If you use the seasoning packet you can skip the seasoning in the recipe or just add the onion/garlic powder.
We have been eatring this for years. it is very good.
You can also substitute the CornBeef with 4-5 Pork Chops, that is very good as well.
Unreal! Even organizations that seem to be concerned about the environment refuse to face the fact that meat production is the number one plague on the environment. You can't be a meat-eating environmentalist- it's as simple as that. Can't have it both ways. I suggest everyone read the UN report- "Livestock's Long Shadow"
If you opt for organic pasture raised beef it is eco friendly. They are generally raised on land that would be unsuitable for crop production (as anyone who farms cattle would tell you there's alot more money in veggies than cows). Being an environmentalist means making informed decisions, regardless of what you eat. Eating organic food trucked in from thousands of km's away is not environmentally friendly, but lots of eco-conscious people do anyway right? Learn where your food comes from, opt.... More
That's a ridiculous statement. There's plenty of money to be made in the meat industry. And being an environmentalist means caring about the environment. Try to imagine how much "pasture" would be necessary to produce the same amount of beef that now comes from feedlots and factory farms. Guess what? There isn't enough land in the whole United States. Can I assume that you at least believe that people should drastically cut down the amount of meat they consume? That would be a more reasonable.... More
I've only made corned beef and cabbage for a few years now, but have always used my crock pot. This is a great recipe -- thanks for sharing!
But.... boiled bacon? Yes, I like to try traditional recipes, and I do have some bacon that could stand to be used, but I think I'll stick with the brisket. :)
and it was actually amazingly good....we're the kind of folks that eat corned beef only once a year and this proved to be a fool-proof way to cook it. (and we used a dry Burgundy instead of water in pot)
I'm only gonna change one part of it. my boyfriend and I arent really big fans of cabbage. So instead I'm replacing it with broccoli. Should make for an interesting change and an equally healthly one.
I was wondering if I should put the cabbage in toward the end of cooking (in the crock pot), thanks for the recipe - I will wait until later today. I can't wait to get home, I know the house will smell wonderful!
Yes, you definitely want to wait till the last 1 1/2 to 2 hours to put the cabbage in. The website where I found the recipe said that if you don't have enough room in your slow cooker, it's no problem to cook it separately right before you serve.
Enjoy.
Thanks Robin. I think I will try this. Penny
