I have always been curious about Corned Beef our local butcher sells one with the spice package but I also used all the spices called for in this recipe. I also used a bottle of Dark Beer and 2 cups of beef stock along with water for cooking liquid. My Hubs and 6 yr old LOVED this meal and next time I will use my slow cooker.

This recipe was very good as it was. My children enjoyed it...that says a lot. I gave four stars because of that reason. I have not tried brisket that I liked that much. Because I had no peppercorns, I used about 1/2 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper (actually, Meijer pepper supreme). If I make this again, I will put in half the salt and use more pepper or peppercorns.

This was a perfect, classic way to make corned beef and cabbage. The vegetables and meat came out perfectly and were delicious. I don't usually care for cabbage but even that was good since it absorbed the other flavors. This will be my go-to corned beef recipe from now on!

No sure I'm the biggest corned beef fan, but this recipe was great to make this dish on St. Patricks Day so I could find that out. Better luck next year with finding the St. Patricks Day dish that I love.

I really liked this a bunch. I had a 6.5lb corned beef and I think I should have cooked it a little longer than 4 hours but, that was my error. The recipe was very good. The best part was adding the butter and the parsley at the end. I did add a little salt at the end as well. Thank you for sharing!!!

I have made this recipe many times, but this time I did something different. I added a bottle of Guiness, 3 garlic cloves, and some beef broth along with the water. My family loves this.

I make this every year- I would suggest however that you don't put the cabbage in until the last 20 minutes- and that the carrots, potatoes, (and I also use rutabagas - which are so yummy) take longer than 15 min.

This is how I make my Corned Beef & Cabbage, but I put about 1/2 cup of Cider Vinegar in it also which gives it a little zing & helps make the meat more tender.
