Easy Corned Beef and Cabbage

Recipe Courtesy of Paula Deen

Based on 9 Reviews

Servings: 4 to 6 servings (If serving 6, use 2 cans corned beef)
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 12 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

4 slices bacon
4 tablespoon butter
1 head green cabbage, coarsely chopped
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 can corned beef

Directions

Cook the bacon in large pot over medium heat until almost crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside. Melt the butter in the pot with the bacon grease. Add the cabbage, stirring well to coat the cabbage in fat. Add about 1/3 cup water, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cover pot with a lid, and cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the bacon into small pieces.

Remove the lid from the pot, and scatter chunks of corned beef and chopped bacon over top of the cabbage. Cover and cook until desired doneness. I personally like a little bit of crunch left to the cabbage.

Tip: Cabbage is one of those vegetables that naturally contains water in its leaves. Begin by adding just a small amount of water. As cabbage cooks, if it needs more liquid, then add more water.

My Mother used to serve this to us growing up over 70 years ago and I contionued the tradition in giving it to my kids as they grew up. They now serve it to their kids. Quick, easy and good. I like to serve this along with hash brown potato cakes,or just plain hash brown potatoes. Makes a quick, complete meal.

Ive been making this over 30 yrs but without all the grease. I'd brown the canned corned beef in only about a tbs of butter until pretty dark/crispy, then add the chopped cabbage, little water and about a pound of peeled baby carrots, maybe some sliced sweet onion. I love serving this with smothered potatoes/onions and cornbread. A very inexpensive meal.

This recipe was so easy to make. I also made potatoes and carrots on the side to make it feel like a full irish meal. I definately would use 2 cans corned beef for even 2 people. It gives it more of the meat flavor, and I would cut back on the other salt in the dish. Something wonderful
