St. Patrick's Day is around the corner, and I promised to share a few of my favorite recipes with you. Today I am pulling out the big guns, and sharing my favorite recipe for Easy Corned Beef and Cabbage.

I made a few small modifications to the original recipe.  I used a bit more carrots and opted for baby carrots over chopped. I also decreased the apple juice and used a little brown sugar. The result is tender beef that is perfectly seasoned, and fall apart. Besides the flavorful meat, the veggies are slow cooked in all the spices, and are out of this world yummy.

Just look at that tender brisket!

One of my favorite dishes to serve next to my corned beef is my Irish Colcannon with Bacon or my Irish Cheddar Ale Mac and Cheese, and of course a nice Irish stout to wash it all down!

My other favorite thing about making this dish is to use the leftovers, if there are any, to make corned beef hash for breakfast. I don't have a written recipe, but we chop the corned beef, grate a few baked potatoes, and fry it in our cast iron pan with butter, salt, and lots of black pepper. Top it with a few poached eggs and we have a perfect breakfast to enjoy.

Do you have a tried and true method for corned beef and cabbage? I am always really curious on everyone's methods because everyone has their own set of tricks for dishes like this one- for me it is the apple juice and brown sugar.

    This looks great, Ashley. I grew up eating corned beef and cabbage but I’ve never once tried to make it for myself. I think I’m inspired!

    I love making corned beef and cabbage, but I have never added apple juice when making it. I would love to try this because it sounds like it would give is a lovely, crisp sweetness.

    That beef is falling apart so nicely! This recipe actually looks pretty similar to a Norwegian dish with lamb that is prepared during Fall. I'd love to try this one for St. Patrick's Day!

    I don't think I've ever tried corned beef and cabbage. But it does look delicious. I think I'll seek out my nearest St Paddy's Day party and see if I can eat some before I try making it

    This recipe reminds me so much of my mom and living at home in my youth. We are part Irish, but we didn't just eat corned beef near St. Patrick's Day. This dish was a regular meal in the colder months. The only thing I can't recall about my mom making corned beef is a spice packet. Is that new?

      It is a blend that I usually included with the brisket that I buy.

    HAHA, love the big guns! 🙂 Definitely something I could use to satisfy the guests. And that beef looks amazing - I can literally feel the smell of it coming out of the screen (hopefully, it is not my laptop) - so delicious!
