You’re never going to guess how easy it is to make a delicious 5 ingredient corned beef and cabbage meal. It’s as easy as adding 5 ingredients to your slow cooker and a few hours later you’ll have delicious corned beef and cabbage with carrots and potatoes, the perfect meal for St. Patrick’s Day!

The most amazing recipe for slow cooker corned beef and cabbageEvery year St. Patrick’s day seems to sneak up on me! Can you believe it’s next week already?

I happen to really love St. Patrick’s Day recipes like these Irish Cottage Hand Pies, these Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Stout Cookies and one of my faves: Bangers and Cheddar Smashed Potatoes.

This is the best ever corned beef and cabbage

So as I was going though some old posts and thinking about St. Patrick’s Day recipes, I came across a post I had done a few years ago on slow cooker/crock pot corned beef and cabbage. As I was looking at it, I realized it was a 5 ingredient recipe, woop woop, perfect for 5 Ingredient Fridays, so I gave it a little face lift and am sharing this awesome recipe with you again today.

The most delicious corned beef and cabbage

Of course, in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit I had to make this dish with rainbow carrots…get it…rainbows, luck of the Irish, leprechauns? Lol, I know, I will dial my dorkiness back a notch.The most amazing slow cooker corned beef for St. Patricks DayI’ve always been super impressed by my mother-in-law who makes corned beef and cabbage every year for St. Patrick’s Day. I asked her what her secret is, and she laughed and told me it was probably one of the simplest dishes she has ever made, and that all that was required was a slow cooker/crock pot and the ingredients, then just set it and forget it.

The best slow cooker corned beef and cabbage with only 5 ingredientsIt was so much easier than I could have ever imagined. You literally put the corned beef in a crock pot with water and beef stock, let it cook at a low temperature and then add vegetables a few hours before it is done and voila: corned beef and cabbage with carrots and potatoes.

    This looks excellent! We both love corned beef ourselves, but we only find it in cans here in Greece. So we’ll have to improvise a bit to make this:) It sure is an amazing recipe though: easy to make and delicious!
    Hope you guys have a great day on St. Patrick’s!
    Sending you lots of hugs! xoxo

      Corned beef is super delicious isn’t is? I’ve never known it to come in a can, I love learning all these differences of how food is available in Greece.
      Happy St. Patrick’s day on Friday 🙂
      Best,

    My grandparents are Irish Catholic out of Boston, every year, they’d have a big St Pattys Day party and invite their 12 children and their families. Lots of corned beef and cabbage! I’ve never made it myself but your recipe makes me believe I might be able to pull it off? Maybe! Looks delicious ?

      That sounds so special that your grandparents made cornbeef and cabbage for all the families and kids. You can totally make it – it’s honestly one of the easiest dishes, just put it all in a slow cooker and you’re good to go 🙂

    This looks delicious!! My mom used to always make it when I was a kid but I haven’t had corned beef in forever. Leftovers make the best sandwiches 🙂

Are you team ♥️ anchovies, or team 🤢 anchov Are you team ♥️ anchovies, or team 🤢 anchovies? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used to be 🤢 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They sounded kinda gross if you asked me. Canned fish? No thank you. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then I was part of a cookbook club (remember social activities.. 😭) and I cooked a recipe with anchovy breadcrumbs. It completely changed my perspective and thoughts on them as an ingredient. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now whenever I encounter someone who is team ♥️ I rave and rave at them about miraculous anchovy breadcrumbs. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re awesome on roasted cauliflower or on pasta 😘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I gotta know? Are you team anchovies ♥️ or 🤢?!?
