Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage

Vinegar allows meat to absorb seasoning!! So for those worried about the flavor coming through, unless your using a ton of it...no need to worry! Vinegar is used in many meat marinades.

Ths corned beef was the best I think I've ever had. It was fall apart tender. I did add 4 small red potatoes quartered and omitted the vinegar (as my DH dislikes it). This is a great hit at our house and will be made lots. Thanks for the recipe.

This was the FIRST meal in our BRAND NEW crock pot. Hey, I'm a guy and I did this one alone. It was soooooo simple and tasted well enough to make the irish smile. Oh ya, made the wife happy also to have a sunday off from cooking *smile*. It's a keeper, I'll do this one again.

Miss Annie, I have prepared many corned beef recipes, but never one quite as easy, flavorful and fall-apart tender as this one. I prepared this without the cabbage because I basically wanted the corned beef to make Ruben Sandwiches. I can't wait until supper tonight! (I of course, had to have a little sample before hand! :) I will be using your recipe for our corned beef from now on! Thanks for yet another winner, Miss Annie!

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet, I've been making it for years. Absolutely the best corned beef I've ever had. After a few trials and errors, I figured out you should NOT cut off any fat from the meat and put it in the crockpot fat side up. I also dump a big bag of baby carrots on the bottom and a few small red potatoes. The cabbage fell apart if I cooked it the whole 10-12 hrs, so I put it in the last 5-6 hrs. I substitute chicken broth for water because I had to use some up one time and I've been doing it that way ever since.
