Corned Beef and Cabbage
Corned Beef and Cabbage is a hearty dish featuring a corned beef brisket simmered with bay leaves, then cooked with baby potatoes, carrots, and tender cabbage wedges. The slow cooking infuses the meat with spices and creates tender vegetables that complement the savory brisket. This classic comfort meal is often paired with horseradish sauce and is suitable for a substantial family dinner.

Ingredients
- 3 to 3½ pounds corned beef brisket with spice packet
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 ½ pound baby potato
- 6 carrot peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces, medium
- 1 head green cabbage cut into 2-inch wedges
Instructions
- In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, add the corned beef brisket along with spice packet, and bay leaves. Cover everything with water.
- Bring the liquid to a boil, then down to a simmer, and cover. Cook the brisket for 2 ½ to 3 hours (about 50 minutes per pound of brisket).
- Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until almost tender. Add the cabbage and cook for another 15 minutes, until tender.
- Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and the vegetables to a separate serving plate. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Optionally, it's great served alongside horseradish sauce.
