CABBAGE AND GROUND BEEF SLOW COOKER RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Layer the potatoes, carrots, onions, celery and thyme in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Put the brisket on top of the vegetables and add the beer and pickling spice. Add enough water to just cover the brisket. Cover and cook on low until the meat and vegetables are tender, about 8 hours.
• Arrange the cabbage over the brisket (it's OK if the cooker seems crowded), cover and cook until soft and wilted, 45 minutes to 1 hour more.
• Whisk together the sour cream, horseradish and mustard in a small bowl.
• Remove the cabbage and toss with 1 tablespoon of the butter and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Remove the meat and let rest. Strain the remaining vegetables (reserve some of the cooking broth to serve on the side if you like) and toss with the parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice the corned beef against the grain and serve with the vegetables, horseradish sauce and broth if using.

Steps:

• Combine the water vinegar, sugar, pepper and onions, in a 6 qt crock pot and mix well.
• Place corned beef and contents of spice packet in the mixture.
• Scatter the potatoes and carrots over the top and along the sides.
• Cover and cook on high heat setting 4 hours.
• Remove the lid and scatter the cabbage wedges over the top.
• Cover and continue cooking on low 3-4 hours longer, or until beef is tender.
• To serve, carve the beef into slices against the grain and serve with the cabbage and potatoes, with some of the cooking liquid spooned on top of the beef to keep it moist.
