Skinny Corned Beef & Cabbage

Skinny Corned Beef & Cabbage

Servings: 6 Serving Size: ¼ piece of corned beef with vegetables  WW Points+: 8 pts 

In honor of it being the day after St. Patrick’s Day, I decided to share my FAVORITE crock pot corned beef recipe. It doesn’t have the FULL flavor of most crock pot corned beef dishes because it’s a WW version, but I make a YUMMY WW friendly horseradish sauce that my husband RAVED about. I made it Sunday this year since we both worked 12 hour days on Monday, and we had leftovers for lunch the next day (which was St. Patty’s!). Anyway, here ya go!!!

Ingredients:

For the corned beef

·         2.5 pounds of corned beef (with coriander seeds seasoning)

·         1 head of cabbage

·         Garlic powder

·         Onion powder

·         1 onion

·         1 bag of baby carrots

·         6 small red potatoes

·         2 cups of water

·         1 cup of LIGHT beer

Horseradish sauce:

·         ¼ cup NON CREAMED horseradish (you can find this in the refrigerated section next to where the cold jarred pickles are kept)

·         ¼ cup fat free sour cream

·         ¼ cup Dijon mustard

**This is an ADDITIONAL 5 points per serving so use SPARINGLY. I actually ended up using plain yellow mustard so I could eat more corned beef! J

Directions:

Cut up the onion & carrots and put them in the bottom of the pan. Pour 1 cup of water over the vegetables. Trim the fat off of the beef and place it on top of the vegetables. Add the coriander seeds. Pour ½ cup of light beer on top of the corned beef. Cook on high for 4 hours. After the first 4 hours, cut up red potatoes and place around corned beef. If most of the liquid has absorbed, add remaining water and beer, if not, check in another hour. After 6 hours, cut the cabbage into wedges and place on top of corned beef. 

**NOTE, once cabbage cooks, it will shrink and you will be able to add more! Corned beef ALSO shrinks! Everything should be ready after 7-8 hours depending on your crock pot.

For the horseradish sauce:

Mix all three ingredients together and spread on top of corned beef!
