I don’t cook corned beef often (maybe once or twice a year), so because it feels new every time, I always end up stressing. But this year, I discovered the smarter, easier route to perfect corned beef and cabbage: my slow cooker. This slow cooker corned beef and cabbage is cooked in a happy brine of pickling spices, beer, and a little salt and sugar, making it the best (and easiest!) corned beef and cabbage you can make.

Cook up a giant batch of posole in your slow cooker, and after an all-day simmer you’re in for a dinner packed with warm spices, rich flavors, and meaty shredded chicken.

We know you’ll fall in love with how easy it is to pull off this hearty, protein-packed dinner. But what will really win you over is its savory, smoky flavor, which leaves just the faintest hint of spice on your tongue.
