    This Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe will be your new go-to recipe every year! The corned beef simmers in a pot with some aromatics and your house will smell amazing!

    For years, I would scroll past food blogs that shared recipes for corned beef because I had this mentality of thinking it would taste bad before even trying it. Corned beef is definitely not the greatest-looking cut of beef there is. I would much rather prefer a chuck roast over that.  

    It would have probably been better to share this recipe a few weeks ago but of course I waited until 2 days before St Patrick’s Day to share this recipe. Which will probably be made yearly now around this time of year. Corned beef is really good shredded and I highly recommend doing this before adding it to the soup even though the recipe instructions don’t say that. Oh yeah, and you can never go wrong with an Alton Brown recipe. The broth was very flavorful and Aldi has all these ingredients on sale now, minus the spices. 

    What Ingredients do I need? 

    In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

    Corned Beef Brisket - 2  to 2 ½ pounds 

    Ground Black Pepper - ground 

    Allspice - whole 

    Bay Leaves - crushed or left whole 

    Carrots - I used baby carrots, cause I’m too lazy to cut them 

    Onion - yellow or red 

    Potatoes - Russet potatoes or Yukon gold 

    Celery - I didn’t add any celery to this since there was cabbage in it. 

    One Small Head of Cabbage -  find the smallest one you can

    How to make Corned Beef and Cabbage 

    1. Place the corned beef, pepper, allspice, bay leaves and salt into a large 8-quart pot along with 3-quarts of water. Cover and set over high heat. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to low and cook, at a low simmer for 2 ½ hours.
    2. After 2 ½ hours add the carrots, onions, potatoes and celery. Return to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, add the cabbage and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes and cabbage are tender. Remove the bay leaves and serve immediately.
