I love to cook Corned Beef and cabbage. So easy and good. Put your corned beef in a large pot and cover with water. Put in the spices from the bag that comes with the meat. Cook it for 2 hours-or check the package for time--but around 2 hours is good. Add red potatos -- small whole or halfed if larger. Add carrots and cook until nearly done. Add cabbage and cook until done how you like it. Nothing fancy but friends and family keep coming back for more.

Hope, what cut of cabbage do you use? When we were home, I went to a meat market that made there own corned beef. Are all brands equal?

Thanks,

I was raised in Jax, Fl and corned beef and cabbage was not a big thing. I moved to NJ and learned how to enjoy and actually cook corned beef and cabbage. Up there, the grocery stores had specials on corned beef ($1.49 a lb) and cabbage ($.09 a head). Here it is $2.49 for the corned beef (limited quantities) and cabbage is the same price as when you want to make cole slaw.

Good luck on finding a place that will make a good corned beef and cabbage dinner.

I mane my own and eat at home. The wife hates the cabbage part so that is cooked in a separate pot. But I get it all!!

I paid $2.79 a lb for a nice lean one at Publix's yesterday. I don't think they go down that much next Wednesday.

Learn to cook corned beef from my dad and it is very easy. Just boil it and I usually use onions, carrots, potatoes and cabbage. Some come with seasoning pack or have instructions on the package. Just remember not too much salt because the corned beef is pretty salty on it's own.

We are kind of stuck at home today as a result of the blizzard wannabe that passed this way. The weather and reading this corned beef and cabbage topic have made my thoughts turn to cooking.

I have never tried to cook corned beef and cabbage. I am not the most confident of cooks so when trying something new I always need a fairly detailed recipe. --so I started Googling around in search of one and came up with this link. I don't think that I have ever seen such a detailed recipe for anything. Maybe this is one of those "Be careful what you wish (Google) for, you just might get it" moments.

As soon as I can mush out of here, I am going to go get the ingredients. But I think I may have to study this recipe for a couple of days at least.

Thank you for starting this topic. We really like corned beef and cabbage but have never made it ourselves. This will also give Mr. Boomer the opportunity to get in touch with his Irish roots.

The biggest thing with corned beef is to make sure you cut it across the grain otherwise it is stringy.
