Slow Cooker Keto Corned Beef Cabbage-
Slow Cooker Keto Corned Beef Cabbage is the low-carb and paleo-friendly version of the traditional Irish dish.
A low carb and paleo-friendly version of the traditional Irish dish but I made it in the slow cooker and used a healthier, preservative-free, nitrate-free, uncured brand of corned beef.
The meat turned out not as bright pinkish-red as the traditional kind which has a chemical in it (saltpeter, a nitrate) that makes it that color.
This uncured brand did have a tiny amount of natural beet powder to make it sort of a greyish-pink color.
However, the taste was amazing and very much like the corned beef I remember. Even my husband said he liked it better than the traditional kind, so that is a win!
I also skipped the potatoes in my original recipe to make it low carb legal.
I bought my Wellshire Uncured Corned Beef at Whole Foods Market and it came pre-seasoned with all the natural spices. You can also use my Corned Beef Spice Mix.

Stacey, do you include the juice from the package in the crockpot and do you serve the carrots and onion with the cabbage or do you discard said items? TIA

Hi Kathy, I do include the liquid from the package and you can choose to serve the carrots and onion with the cabbage or omit them if you want to slightly reduce the carb count.

I haven't had corned beef since starting to eat Paleo because I guess it didn't even occur to me that there would be a good brand, so thanks for the info and the great recipe!

Wow looks so juicy and flavorful!
Sharon says
When you measure 6 ounces does that include all of it including the meat?
Stacey says
Hi Sharon, it is 6 ounces of the meat and about 1/3 cup of the cabbage per serving. The 1/3 cup seems to have disappeared from the recipe card after updating.

tina says
I still have my slow cooker even though everyone is now obsessed with instant pots these days - def gonna try this one!
Stacey says
Thank you Tina, you can make this in the Instant Pot on the Slow Cook setting. Better if you saute the meat first on saute setting to brown the meat on all sides and then use slow cooker setting on normal for recommended times.
