Tips for making corned beef and cabbage in the Dutch oven
- If you like your cabbage completely soft, add it with all the other veggies as mentioned above.
- If you want crisper cabbage, do not add it with the other veggies. Replace the lid and bake for an hour. Then remove the dish from the oven, scoop up some liquid, place the cabbage on top, pour the liquid over and resume baking. Covered for 30 more minutes.
