Notes
- If desired, rinse the corned beef brisket before cooking to remove any excess salt.
- If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can add more spices and herbs to the slow cooker.
- Set the slow cooker to LOW, for best results.
- Make sure the corned beef is almost fully submerged in beef broth or water before cooking to prevent it from drying out.
- As an alternative to roasting, add the vegetables to the slow cooker in the last hour of cook time.
- If you want your vegetables to have a caramelized finish, broil them for a few minutes after roasting.
- This corned beef and cabbage recipe yields approximately, 6 to 8 servings.
