  • 1 corned beef brisket 3–4 lbs with spice packet

Equipment

  • 1 Cutting Board For slicing cooked brisket

Method
 

  1. Place potatoes, carrots, and onion at the bottom of the crock pot.
  2. Lay the corned beef brisket over the vegetables and sprinkle with the included spice packet.
  3. Pour water, broth, or beer into the crock pot until the meat is about halfway submerged.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or on HIGH for 6–7 hours.
  5. One hour before cooking ends, add the cabbage on top.
  6. Once done, remove the brisket and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  7. Slice against the grain and serve with vegetables.

Notes

  • Use dark beer for richer flavor or stick with broth for a milder taste.
