This Low Carb Keto Corned Beef and Cabbage is made quickly in the Instant Pot or slow cooked in the Crock Pot with directions for both!

Whether you are Irish or not, when St.Patrick’s day comes around during the month of March, Corned Beef and Cabbage can be found in abundance in all supermarkets.

Being Italian we never ate corned beef and cabbage, but once I met my husband and married 19 years ago, it was a must for him and I fell in love with this tasty beef brisket.

This classic recipe for St.Patrick’s day just needed a little tweak to make it lower in carbs. Just by removing the potatoes typically in this recipe, it lowers the carbs significantly. Of course if carbs are not a problem for you, just add them back into the veggies I’ve used here.

Even my kids who aren’t too keen on boiled veggies enjoy eating this, of course they prefer a larger portion of the beef as opposed to the veggies, but it’s all good to me.

But my kids do also love my Reuben Cabbage Rolls and Reuben Calzone!

Add some Irish Soda Bread or Irish Soda Muffins to make these meal even better!

Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage

Some of you may not have an Instant Pot and that is certainly fine as I’ve provided directions for making this in a crock pot as well. Both taste equally delicious, but the Instant Pot cuts the cooking time down by half if you were making this on the stove top.

Whichever method you choose to use to cook this scrumptious meal, I’m sure you won’t have any complaints from the family. It’s tasty and comforting!

Even my picky hubby who is a meat and potatoes man but recently is eating lower carb, didn’t complain there were no potatoes in this. That is a little miracle to me to be honest with you!
