Let me first apologize for this review. I really love FoodNetwork, have been watching and using the website for quite some time. I found this receipe in the new FoodNetwork magazine and I have to say......This was the worst recipe I have ever used for making corned beef. The meat came out dry, tasteless, and grey. Why? Because it was cooked for so long. I mean, seriously? 7+ hours on high heat? Really? I liked the vegetable collection in the receipe and the fact that it was using a slow cooker for the cooking method which is why I tried it. Thankfully I didn't cook the cabbage in the slow cooker as that was the best part of the meal.

This receipe should read...start the slow cooker on high just until the liquid starts simmering and then turn down to low and cook only for another 3 to 3 and 1/2 hours. A 4-pound corned beef brisket cooked this way will be tender, juicy, and flavorful in this amount of time. Just read the other receipes for corned beef and you will see that none of them state that the meat should be cooked on high for 7+ hours using any cooking method. Woof!!

My Irish mother and grandmother never had corned beef this outrageously delicious way. My husband who spent his first week of retirement made this dinner while I was teaching my middle schoolers. It was a treat to come home to the wonderful aromas. But then to taste it.....!! This is the only way to make corned beef and cabbage. Thank you Food Network.

I have made corned beef and cabbage a variety of ways over the years, including in my slow cooker...but this was by far the best recipe I have ever used! The addition of the rutabaga was a hit, and the horseradish sauce was so good, I will be using it for other meals as well. This will be my "go to" recipe for corned beef from here forward!

I had not done corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot before until I saw this recipe. Now I won't go back. It's just too easy to put it all in and leave it the rest of the day. I even had room for the cabbage so I added it the last 2 hours. Thanks.

I put this in the crockpot on my lunch break, and by the time I got home at the end of the day, it was done. The brisket was perfectly cooked--tender and juicy. The vegetables were cooked through and super flavorful. I added less water to the crockpot than the recipe calls for. Only about a cup; this made my veggies waaay more flavorful. And I didn't use the horseradish sauce. I did combine some meat juice and the sour cream though, and it was still delicious for a sauce. I thought the pickling peppers added quite enough spice. Besides, horseradish can be disgusting.

I loved that this recipe had me use vegetables I wouldn't normally try--leek, rutabaga, cabbage. We might even have this again when it's NOT St. Patrick's Day :

This recipe was so easy to follow and turned out fantastic! The only thing I did differently than the recipe is that I cooked the meal on LOW because my crock pot most certainly isn't a slow cooker. I'm eating some leftovers for lunch today and I can't wait to make the corned beef and cabbage pizza with the rest.

How can we possibly reserve a quarter of the meat and veggies for hash, when the end result is so moist and delicious? This was my first attempt at Corned Beef and Cabbage, and I've no reason to ever look for another recipe.

I was concerned that the cooking time was 7-8 hours on HIGH but that is right. I cooked it for 8 hours on high in my 6 quart crock pot with the veggies and it was delicious! There were actually some leftovers, so I'm looking forward to some hash tonight for dinner! I put the corned beef, potatoes, and onion (I didn't have leek in the food processor last night and put it in the fridge for today.

My picky son loved it and the grocery store has it for $0.99/lb so I'm going to pick some more up at the store tonight for the freezer! It was the thick cut roast, not the flat cut one.

best i've ever tasted! my irish father flipped! easy beyond words. perfect for one making it for the 1st time. although the corned beef i got had a scant 1 t of pickiling spice included, which i found laughable because the recipe calls for 3 T. and you NEED those 3 T. being the ONLY seasoning involved also added to the ease of preparation. i WILL be making it again. and again. did the cabbage in the cooking liquid instead of zapping it. took an hour to get it where it needed to be. perfect recipe! bravo!
