just three words to describe my newest obsession...
SLOW COOKER HEAVEN
9:00 am..throw a bunch of good stuff in the pot
5:00 pm...open and enjoy
i'm sure most of you have one and if you don't, i implore you to get one. i forgot how genius they are. they are the original "SET IT AND FORGET IT", as Ron Popeal used to say about his clunky countertop rotisserie.
this recipe is so simple and, i have to say,
THE BEST CORNED BEEF I HAVE EVER HAD!
i never thought i would take on the challenge of corned beef. well, now i have, and i'll definitely do it again and again. my thought was, why make it when you can get it done properly somewhere else. so i thought...i used to live in L.A. and there were Jewish delis all over the place. they, of course, always have mouth watering corned beef on hand. now i find myself in Newport Beach and corned beef is only sold sliced at the deli counter or it's more of a seasonal thing and just not available when your taste buds are craving it. i'm sure you could find some prepared frozen, but i tend to stay away from the frozen section like the plague. so. i am very pleased i found this simple recipe and ever soooo pleased with my little slow cooker. can't wait to fill it up again. i think the next thing will be lamb shanks...YUMMM!!!

If you were to make potatoes with it also, when would you add those in the crockpot? Or would you cook them on the side?
hi Anonymous...i would drop some whole (not cut) small red or white potatoes in a few (3-4) hours before it's done. my large piece of corned beef took about 11.
1/2 hours. so if i had put them in from the start they might have gone to mush. cut potatoes tend to fall apart if left in too long. you can always take a peek , pull them and rewarm in the yummy juices. thanks for stopping by.
Spotted your write – ups, it’s cool. Very beneficial and interesting there are some ideas I haven’t heard before. Thanks for sharing.

Made for St. Patricks Day 2015. SIMPLY FANTASTIC - BEST EVER INDEED!
Added crushed gingersnap cookies to thicken gravy. Will never make Corned Beef any other way again.
Many thanks for posting this recipe.
In the front of the recipe you say "throw it in the pot at 9am- eat at 5pm". That's 8 hours.
Then cook time says - 10 hours.
Then at the end you say " cook low 11-12 hours" plus another 40 minutes for the cabbage.
That would be 9am to 9:40 pm.
What is the correct cook time for the meat?
Do I need to be careful not to burn it?
I am a full Irish girl and have Corned Beef & Cabage a few times a year, not just St. Patty's. I love tip about the potatoes not putting them in at the start. My potatoes always are mushy. Can't wait to try this recipe.
I don't have any beer. Can I do without it?
