Recipe Courtesy of Paula DeenServings: 4 to 6 servings (If serving 6, use 2 cans corned beef)
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 12 min
Difficulty: Easy
4 slices bacon
4 tablespoon butter
1 head green cabbage, coarsely chopped
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 can corned beef
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.

Flavor was excellent, but a little rich for my taste.

A big fan note first: Paula, Bobby, Jamie, & even Uncle Bubba bring such fresh perspective to old favorites and new recipes that cooking is really fun again. Your website and magazine are my great favorites. My very first exposure to Corned Beef and Cabbage was certainly a family winner. I did modify it a bit by adding chopped onions (as I do when I prepare my Mom's sauerkraut recipe), and I think next time I'll try Alice Gober's addition of beer for a variation. Yummy with cornbread.

We love your recipes. You are the best! I am 74 years old and an amature cook. Keep up the great work. I learn more about cooking from you and my wife than anyone else. God Bless and Thanks Bob

I make this all the time, but don't use butter or bacon. Steam the shredded cabbage and a can of corned beef add salt and pepper to taste.Steam until the cabbage is tender. Serve with cornbread. Yummy!

Delicious recipe. Never had it with the bacon and it was great. I did cook some diced up potatoes and added to it. Other than that didn't change a thing. Will be making this recipe again.

Where do you find corned beef in a can?
By Kathy P Straughn on March 13, 2012
Hi Paula, I wanted to mention to you that I love your recipes,cookware and TV shows. I have several of your cookbooks and love everything I've cooked from them. I just found out last December that I also have diabetes. I am 64 yrs old and have been unable to loose very much weight. When we first got married, I didn't know anything about the kitchen or how to cook. Our first morning, I put the canned biscuits into the broiler and burned them. They looked like barbecue brickets. I practiced using the Better Homes and Garden cookbook I had gotten at my weding shower & finally learned to cook and have been told it's good...being from Arkansas, I am a Southern cook. I love the sauces, gravy and fried food. Would you please consider cooking for people with diabetes and sharing those recipes. I was told that you have lost 2 dress sizes - congratulations, that's great...I just need to get on the right track and would love your input. Thank you very much...

I saw Paula make this on her show a few years ago and made it the next day. It's the best!! My husbands family was from Norway and was a pretty picky eater and he really loved it and so do I.

Instead of adding water add beer for more flavor. It is fantastic!

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.
By Gene Spencer on January 08, 2012
I have made this and my family goes crazy over this. It' easy to make and there is never any leftovers!
By mary jack on January 01, 2012
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.
