A comforting slow cooker recipe featuring tender corned beef, perfectly cooked cabbage, and buttery potatoes, ideal for cozy nights and easy meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds corned beef brisket (with seasoning packet)
  • 1.5 pounds yellow or red potatoes, washed and halved or quartered
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, cut into wedges or large chunks
  • 3–4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into thick slices (optional)
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or smashed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (optional)
  • 4 cups beef broth or water
  • Whole grain or Dijon mustard (for serving)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse your corned beef brisket under cold water to remove excess brine and pat dry with paper towels. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Place the quartered onion, sliced carrots, and halved potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Sprinkle the black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and bay leaves over the vegetables.
  4. Lay the brisket fat-side up on top of the vegetables.
  5. Pour in 4 cups of beef broth or water, ensuring the brisket is mostly submerged but not floating.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and the potatoes are soft.
  7. About 1 hour before the end of cooking, add the cabbage wedges on top of the brisket and cover again.
  8. Check for doneness: brisket should be tender enough to pull apart easily with a fork, and potatoes should pierce easily with a knife.
  9. Remove the brisket and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  10. Arrange the sliced corned beef with the cabbage and potatoes on a warm platter. Spoon some cooking broth over the top and serve with mustard on the side.

Notes

Rinse the brisket before cooking to reduce saltiness. Add cabbage about 1 hour before the end to keep it tender but not mushy. Keep the cooking liquid for use as broth in soups or reheating. If your slow cooker runs hot, check the dish around 7 hours to avoid overcooking.
