Fastest Corned Beef & Cabbage

Corned beef and cabbage is a traditional Irish dish with a lot of history behind it, and while we really like eating it on St. Patrick's Day, this one-pot, comfort food is good any day. In fact, our Fastest Corned Beef Cabbage recipe is great for those in-a-hurry weeknight dinners!
