This was the first time I have ever made corned beef! It was great! My family loved it! Thank You!

I've made this at least six times so far and every single time, the dish turns out great! I have a large family & we like seconds, so I double the recipe but that's the only thing I do differently to this recipe. It is already a favorite in our house and I recommend it to anyone else who likes corned beef & cabbage.

This was good but a little too salty

This dish was a big disappointment for us because it just didn't seem to have enough flavor. As other posters suggested, I substituted beer for some of the water but otherwise followed the recipe. The result was disappointingly bland. This is a high-calorie recipe, so perhaps it's just as well that we didn't like it, but I'll be looking for something more flavorful next time.

Great recipe. I used 2 cans of Swanson vegetable broth in place of same amt. of water. Served it St. Pat's day, 2008 to friends and they loved it. I also put the corned beef in the bottom of the slow-cooker and add veggies the last 2 hrs. I put in the cabbage the last 45 min of cooking and cook a total of 9 hrs. Try serving with horseradish sauce . . . MMMM! nanabest1@comcast.net

This was fairly good, but the Slow Cooked Corned Beef for Sandwiches uses lots of peppercorns and lots of real garlic and it is a thousand times tastier.

Very good recipe! I used a 3 pound brisket and covered it with water and pickling spices and added one bottle of Sam Adams lager. The meat simmered for 3 hours and 30 mins. and I added the carrots and cabbage during the last 30 mins. I served this corned beef and cabbage with mashed baby red potatoes and the "Amazingly Easy Irish Soda Bread" from this site. Wow! The meat was juicy and tender and sliced beautifully once it rested for about 10 mins. Absolutely delicious!

This was fabulous. I had to hide a plate for a friend who was late for dinner. I cooked mine in stock pot on a rolling boil for 30 minutes and then on lo - med for 3 hrs. I also added extra peppercorns and a table spoon of garlic then added the veggies about 20-30 mins before it was finished depening on how tender you like your veggies. The meat was so tender it fell apart when we were cutting it and soo flavorful. Served with a side of this: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Irish-Soda-Bread-3/Detail.aspx soda bread everyone loved it not a bite left. I also added some caraway to the bread.

What a great recipe! I was doing a million things and forgot to put the butter in and fudged the time. It still came out perfect! My husband said he thought it would be aweful, but it was delicious. I will definately make this again.

It has now been 7 years of using Cindy's recipe for my Annual St. Patty's Day Dinner for a local Organization. This year I had over 50 attendees. The members look forward to this dinner every year. After reading some of the comments from other reviewers, and how they "modified" the recipe, I decided to let you all know what my secret is; I follow the recipe to the letter. If after scaling the recipe for 509 people, it calls for 32 1/2 peppercorns, I use 32 1/2 peppercorns. I also do not use cheap briskets of corned beef. There is so little fat in the pot that when its time to add the potatoes and carrots, the butter is needed to provide the fat. I do not mess around with Mother Nature, and I don't mess around with Cindy's recipe.

This was very good!.. I love corned beef and cabbage! I was looking for a recipe that didn't need a slow cooker... Our only dissapointment was purchasing a inexpensive off brand brisket and it was very fatty! Getting around that, the flavor was very good! I didn't have parsley, so I left it out! I added a can of beer too! We don't have enough left overs to make hash tomorrow! That must say something!

This was very good! My corned beef came without a seasoning packet, so I was glad to find this recipe! I cooked it in the crockpot most of the day, probably 7-8 hours in all. I did leave out the potatoes, because I made colcannon on the side instead. Thanks for the recipe!

This meal was wonderful. I scaled up the recipe to 10 people. The only changes I made was, used one bottle of beer in the water, the corned beef came with season pkgs used them plus the ones that the recipe call for. Also, since we were having 10 people for dinner I put all of the veggies in seperate pieces of cheese cloth, it worked out great, one cheescloth of potatoes (5 lbs), one of carrots, etc... this made it so easy to serve. All of the food went and everyone raved!!

Tasty and easy. Made this and Reuben Soup for dinner.

I have never made corned beef and cabbage before but I will have to say that I am hooked. This was great! I cooked mine in the crockpot on low for 8 hours. The beef was tender and the veggies were great! My VERY picky 12 year old even liked it. This is a keeper!

Great easy recipe . I used a can of Guinness beer instead of water, it adds a unique flavor.

My husband has been giving me hints that he would like to have Corned Beef and Cabbage for dinner. I am no Irish and I haven't eaten Corned Beef and Cabbage before. So I don't know how it looks like nor how it taste. I decided one day that I will try to cook it for him coz I we have been eating Lean cuisine for a while and we want some real home cooking. I looked this up and OMG. It taste so good. I was even afraid because I am not sure if I was doing it correctl
