Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Corned beef brisket with spice packet
- 4 large, peeled and cut into chunks Carrots
- 6 medium, quartered Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 large, peeled and cut into wedges Yellow onion
- 4 whole, peeled Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Water
- 1 medium head, cored and cut into wedges Cabbage
- 2 whole Bay leaves
Instructions
1. Place the corned beef brisket in the bottom of a large slow cooker (6-quart or larger). Sprinkle the spice packet that comes with the corned beef over the top of the brisket.
2. Arrange the carrots, potatoes, onion wedges, and garlic cloves evenly around the brisket.
3. Pour the 4 cups of water directly into the slow cooker, ensuring the brisket and vegetables are mostly submerged. Add the bay leaves to the mixture.
4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 7 hours.
5. After 7 hours, carefully lift the lid and add the cabbage wedges on top of the brisket and vegetables.
6. Re-cover the slow cooker and continue cooking on low heat for 1 additional hour, until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.
7. Once cooked, remove the corned beef brisket from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
8. Serve slices of corned beef alongside the cooked cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and onions. Spoon some of the flavorful cooking liquid over the top for added moisture and flavor.
