Corned Beef is an Easy One Pot Meal

The wonderful thing about making Corned Beef and Cabbage is that it is truly the quintessential one-pot meal where your stovetop does all the work.

First, you’ll put your corned beef brisket into a large stockpot and cover the meat with water. After three hours, you’ll add your carrots, potatoes, and cabbage. That’s it! And in another hour—for a total of four hours—you’ll have a delicious meal to bring to the table.

  • 4-5 pound Corned beef brisket, preferably "flat cut"
  • 4 Yellow onions
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Whole Black Peppercorns

      Hi Charles,

      Thanks so much for letting me know. I put bay leaves in the directions, but I had a typo and listed basil in the ingredients. I updated the ingredients to say bay leaves.

      I hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂

      Love and God bless,
      Mary
