Well Paula you did it again. This was a hit in my household minus the corned beef. I never had corned beef therefore, i was afraid to put it into the cabbage but the cabbage was delicious. The cabbage was quick and easy to prepare. This is definitely a keeper!!!

I made the cabbage by itself and my family said it was the best cabbage they ever had. I made real corned beef in the crock pot and used the juice from that for the water needed in the cabbage mixture. Excellent recipe!

I am not a big fan of corned beef, but my husband is Irish and likes to have this dish on St. Patty's Day, so thought I would try Paula's recipe. It was FANTASTIC!! I even added some shallots to the bacon when frying and everyone just loved it. A must keep recipe for the future!! Thanks Paula!

I make this but I don't use the bacon or the butter. This recipe is great without that. I just use water seasoned with salt and boil the cabbage untill almost tender, then I add the corned beef and simmer about 5 minutes, add a touch of sugar if you like (splenda just to cut a few calories if you must. Try this way if you don't want all the bacon grease and butter.

If you're making corned beef today then use the leftovers for this dish. To cut the fat calories I buy eye round corned beef from BJ'S.

This dish is similar to dishes my grandmother and mother made and I still make. Sometimes just vegetables cooked in bacon grease, sometimes with ham and occasionally canned corned beef--what ever was in the pantry/could afford.

By the way cooking cabbage and bacon is Irish, unlike corned beef, & adding leftover meat (corned beef makes sense. Irish ate lots of pork just like Southerners and for the same reason, beef was a rich man's meat. Canned corned beef is cheap and, while it may be artery clogging, it may be better for you(and cheaper, when cooked with cabbage, onions etc, than the fast food junk people stuff themselves with everyday.

I absolutely adore Paula D.! I watch her show and enjoy her products as often as possible (quite faithfully, as able! This is just an example of a dish that contains 1 corned beef 2 cabbage and 3 is easy. What else could you ask for? I recognize an original version of this classic isn't particularly difficult, but let's face it: how often does corned beef brisket go on sale? Generally, only a few times a year. In my opinion, I wouldn't spend the money on that coarse/tough of a meat if it wasn't on sale! This would be a simple fix and a tolerable substitute if the real deal wasn't available. Note: the episode is titled 'Busy Working Women's Quick Meal'. I don't feel this is in anyway grossly misrepresented! If you're worried about your arteries, forget the bacon and butter: perhaps consider turkey bacon and EVOO. Better yet, please try to realize that none of us share any body parts with Paula Deen and that, frankly, she can eat, cook, and do whatever the hell she pleases :

I hate the word CRAP but what a waste of money.. Go ahead and take the time to cook a real corned beef.. not any trouble and SO MUCH BETTER.
This can had so many ingredients in it that I knew it was POISON. My daughter did it because she thought it was quick and easy. MISTAKE!
How about doing a healthy cookbook for those of us on our death beds too.
I love to cook and do eat small portions of so many things but being diabetic, high blood pressure, choleserol.. IT"S TIME PAULA for a healthy cookbook.

This recipe is wonderful. You can even kick it up a notch by adding carmelized onions and either noodles or fingerling potatoes to turn it into something more gourmet. If you play around with seasonings you can turn it into anything from an oriental style meal to a spanish style meal. All you need is the imagination and some really good tastebuds! Nice work Paula on creating something that is not only quick & easy but also exceptionally easy to turn into something unexpectedly brilliant by adding other ingredients to the mix. Thanks for this one!! My family loves it no matter which way it's prepared!

This is real cooking. My mother has been making this recipe for years. It's quick and good and easy for anyone to make. Did the negative reviewers actually try the recipe? If not, please try it before you comment. Comments on recipes which have not been tried (tested and tasted are not helpful.

I can't understand how YOU would even publish this under your name/brand whateveer. This is NOT corned beef and cabbage--but then what would a Southern gal know about cooking this? (Like expecting this Yankee to know how to deep fry chicken.

BTW, the comments about arteries and bypass should be well taken...including you, Paula.
