If you’re looking for a simple, hearty, and comforting meal, this slow cooker cabbage and noodles recipe is perfect. With just a few basic ingredients, you’ll get a rich, flavorful dish that feels like home cooking with almost no effort.
Ingredients
2 pounds corned beef (cut into cubes)
1 small head green cabbage (chopped)
4 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons Dijon or whole-grain mustard
12 ounces wide egg noodles
Instructions
Prepare the base
Place the chopped cabbage evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the meat
Scatter the corned beef pieces over the cabbage. Try to tuck some pieces between the cabbage layers for even cooking.
Mix the liquid
In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth and mustard until well combined.
Pour and cook
Pour the mixture over the cabbage and beef.
Cover and cook:
On LOW for 7–8 hours
Or on HIGH for 4–5 hours
until the meat is tender and the cabbage is soft.
Cook the noodles
About 20 minutes before serving, boil the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain well.
Combine everything
Gently stir the slow cooker mixture to break up the beef and mix it with the cabbage.
Add noodles
Add the cooked noodles to the slow cooker and toss gently so they absorb the flavorful broth.
Let it rest
Leave everything on LOW or WARM for 5–10 minutes so the noodles soak up the juices.
Serve
Serve hot in bowls, making sure to spoon some broth over each portion.
Tips & Variations
Add carrots or onions for extra flavor.
For a richer taste, replace part of the broth with dark beer.
You can add a bit of butter or cream for a creamier texture.
Leftovers taste even better the next day
