Every year I make hubs Corned Beef and Cabbage and every year I ask myself why I don’t make it more often, the corned beef always gets gobbled up so quickly, so I go out to the market and buy another corned beef.
This year, I decided to bake my Corned Beef and Cabbage, except lo and behold, we didn’t buy any cabbage…gasp…So I baked the Corned Beef with potatoes and carrots and hubs went to the market to get a head of cabbage.
After everything was nicely baked, I placed all the ingredients in a crock pot, but the cabbage wasn’t cooking quick enough for me, so I placed it all in the oven, oh my my! Hubs said this was THE BEST CORNED BEEF!! Wow after 20 years of making this meal, I will be changing to baked only. The Corned Beef didn’t come with a seasoned packet so I made my own seasoning. Perfection!
CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
Ingredients
- 1 package Corned Beef Brisket (3-4 Pounds)
- 6 potatoes quartered
- 3 carrots, cut into chunks
- 1 green cabbage, cut up
- 2 Tablespoons Peppercorn
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 1/2 cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Unwrap the brisket and place it fat side up inside the baking dish.
- If it came with a spice packet, sprinkle it over the top, then sprinkle on the black peppercorns and minced garlic and rub it in.
- Cover the dish with a lid or heavy aluminum foil and place it in the oven for 2 1/2 hours-3 1/2 hours..
- Check the brisket by inserting a fork in the meat.
- If it goes in easily, it’s ready; if it meets with resistance, bake for another 30 minutes---or up to an hour in some cases!
- If the brisket is tough, it hasn't cooked long enough!
- Once the brisket is fork-tender, remove it from the oven and let it rest, covered loosely in foil. Add cabbage and veggies during the last 1/2 hour-45 minutes plus water
- Slice Corned beef into good sized slices, serve veggies along side.
Have a Guinness Beer or two with this delicious meal.
Happy St.Patrick’s Day from the Moore Family!
May you always have…
Walls for the winds
A roof for the rain
Tea beside the fire
Laughter to cheer you
Those you love near you
And all your heart might desire.
Looks great..where I live in Newfoundland Canada, this is for dinner every Sunday, with either pork, turkey, roast of beef, chicken.p..our salt beef is not brisket…it is beef from the cow and soaked in salted water. We soak it in water overnight and change the water at least 6 times before it is cooked. Along with this we have peas pudding put in a bag, something like burlap, but not,that is all put in with the veggies and salted beef, or we make a blueberry or raisin duff instead of the peas pudding…a weekly tradition..yummy!!!
Thank you Anne, just send me your address and I will be over on Sunday’s, I’ll bring the refreshments! Nettie
Thank You Nettie…you are welcome anytime!!!….All the Best and tomorrow have a happy St. Patrick’s Day….holiday here..great times..
Happy St. Patrick’s Day Anne! You don’t have to ask me twice!! Nettie
This looks delicious Nettie. I regret not making one this year. I bet I do very soon! <3
Thank you, make a corned beef and cabbage today, bet you can get a corned beef on sale! Nettie
I will have to try this way of making corned beef and cabbage. thank you for the recipe, Nettie. I will have it with soda bread.. I will have wine, rather than Guinness , leave that to my husband… (he enjoyed that I didn’t care too much for Guinness when we did the Guinness Brewery Tour, as he was able to drink mine too..)
Sue, Sounds a lot like my Guinness Loving husband! Nettie
The checkout lady and I were just talking this morning about why we only buy corned beef once a year since it is so tasty and pretty easy to make. I typically boil mine for a few hours and then finish it off under the broiler with a mustard/brown sugar glaze. I love that little bit of crispiness added! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Encouraging Hearts and Home. Pinned.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Nettie

Thank you Miz Helen! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!Nettie
Interesting! all the comments are that it looks good, that they will try it and how they make it. Not one comment about how the Corned Beef was after they tried the recipe.
