Ingredients
Scale
1 (3-4 lb) corned beef brisket, flat cut, with spice packet
4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
8 small red potatoes, halved or quartered
1 onion, peeled and chopped into chunks
4 cups beef broth
½ head cabbage, coarsely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the corned beef under cold water and place it in your crock pot.
- Pour in the beef broth so it surrounds the meat but doesn't cover it completely.
- Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the top of the meat.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours.
- About halfway through, add in the carrots, potatoes, and onion.
- One hour before serving, add the cabbage if you're using it.
- Remove the meat, slice across the grain, and serve with veggies and a ladle of that broth over top.
Notes
- If your brisket didn’t come with a spice packet, just toast up a blend of coriander, mustard seed, peppercorn, bay leaf, and a pinch of red pepper.
- Slice it thin for sandwiches or dice it for an amazing hash the next morning.
