Crockpot Corned Beef
This crock-pot corned beef is so good, you'll be making it far more often than once a year!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2½-3 pounds pre-brined corned beef with the packet
- 1 - 1¼ cups water adjust as needed
- ½ large head of green cabbage cut into wedges OPTIONAL
Instructions
- Place the corned beef in the crock-pot, fat side up. (Do not rinse first.) Sprinkle with the spice packet. Add 1 cup of water, or just enough to be about 1/2" up the side of the roast.
- Cook on LOW for 8 hours, taking care not to overcook or the meat will begin to fall apart. (Still delicious, but not sliceable.) If you prefer your corned beef to fall apart, simply cook it a little longer.
- If desired, add cabbage to the crock-pot after about 6 hours of cooking. In the remaining 2 hours of cooking time, the cabbage will soften and cook through while also absorbing a bit of flavor from the beef.
