Crock-Pot Easy Corned Beef and Cabbage
This recipe was originally a reader recipe from Julie Nowakowski, who sent us multiple recipes.
We so appreciated this lovely recipe, as it is easy to put together and my family loved it.
It makes a complete meal in the crock (which I love) and can be easily made not only at our favorite St. Patrick’s Day or Easter meals but any time we are in the mood for corned beef.
I personally found our corned beef during a great sale in the summer and threw them in the freezer (I still have one in the freezer) and pulled one out for this meal.
I had everything I needed on hand except a head of cabbage (that was easy to go pick up) and got the recipe ready before leaving for church.
It turned out delicious, the kids loved it, and it was nice to not have to worry about making anything else for dinner that evening.

Products Used In This Crock-Pot Easy Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe:
I’m in the UK, what should I ask my butcher for? Can you use canned corned beef instead?
I was not aware that there was a difference in the UK version and the ‘American” version of corned beef until I saw your question. A quick google search found this article from WeAreNotFoodies.com. It seems, from that article that corned beef in the UK is canned. Which is not the same at all from the product found here in the states. I don’t think canned corned beef could be used in this recipe with much success. However, the article I mentioned says that in the UK you would ask for “Salt Beef”.
I hope that helps Claire and that you are able to find salt beef via your local grocery store or butcher!
Very, very disappointed with this. Corned beef was tough and the vegetables didn’t pick up any flavor. The veggies were cooked perfect though.
Vegetables did not cook after 10 hours in the crockpot. Corned Beef tough. Disappointing.
I am sorry this recipe did not work out for you Jeannette. I am not sure why the vegetables would not have cooked after 10 hours or why the beef was tough. Could it be that you cooked it on the WARM setting by accident?
