Corned Beef Crock Pot Recipe
This slow cooker corned beef crock pot recipe makes for a hearty, salt-kissed meal that practically cooks itself—ideal for St. Patrick’s Day or any cozy, homey dinner night.
Ingredients
- 3-4 lb flat cut corned beef brisket with spice packet
- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into pieces
- 8 small red potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 onion, peeled and chunked
- 4 cups beef broth
- ½ head of cabbage, chopped (optional but recommended!)
Instructions
- Rinse your corned beef brisket under cold water.
- Place brisket into the crock pot and pour in beef broth.
- Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the meat.
- Set to low and cook for 8-9 hours.
- Halfway through, add in the potatoes, carrots, and onion.
- If using cabbage, toss it in during the final hour of cooking.
- Remove beef and slice against the grain. Serve with veggies.
Notes
- No spice packet? No problem. Use a tablespoon or two of store-bought pickling spice, or toast your own
- mix like I sometimes do.
- Leftovers make stellar Reubens or breakfast hash.
- Don’t add cabbage too early—unless you want your house to smell like high school lunch period.
