Best Crockpot Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe
The Crockpot is the best way to cook your corned beef and cabbage. Corned beef brisket can get rubbery if cooked to high. The low constant heat of a slow cooker will get you that falling apart, amazingly tender corned beef. It does take some planning and time. If you are low on time I got you covered with this Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Corned Beef Recipe. But if you have the time, make your corned beef in the slow cooker.
How To Make Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage with Red Potatoes, Onion and Carrots
- Place onions, corned beef, season packet ingredients, carrots, potatoes, beer and water in slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 9 hours.
- Add the cabbage and cook on high for 1-1.5 hours.
Can You Overcook Corned Beef In The Crockpot
Yes, you can over cook anything really. But it would take a long time to overcook corned beef in the crockpot. Corned beef can easily cook on low for 10-12 hours without issues. If you cook it longer it will eventually begin to disintegrate.
