1 Video | Photo: Easy Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 head green cabbage, coarsely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 can corned beef
Directions
Cook the bacon in large pot over medium heat until almost crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside. Melt the butter in the pot with the bacon grease. Add the cabbage, stirring well to coat the cabbage in fat. Add about 1/3 cup water, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cover pot with a lid, and cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the bacon into small pieces.
Remove the lid from the pot, and scatter chunks of corned beef and chopped bacon over top of the cabbage. Cover and cook until desired doneness. I personally like a little bit of crunch left to the cabbage.
Tip: Cabbage is one of those vegetables that naturally contains water in its leaves. Begin by adding just a small amount of water. As cabbage cooks, if it needs more liquid, then add more water.

we have been enjoying bacon and cabbage for years, even on the grill you wrap your cabbage wedges with a nice thick slice or two wrap that in foil and grill till tender, with that being said, I love this recipe because it's good, cheap and fast...now thats a great combination don't ya think? Thanks Paula!

This really WAS easy! I made this for St. Paddy's Day. I was hesitant to use the canned corned beef but since Paula insisted in the video that it really is delicious, I went ahead and used it. It took only 15 minutes to make and was delicious.
Deep down though, I really do think that making the actual corned beef would have tasted much better. Just taken hours longer. I think next time, I'm going to make my corned beef and cabbage without the canned corned beef! But this one is perfect if you are in a hurry!
