This slow cooker corned beef recipe is incredibly easy and foolproof, requiring minimal prep time and simple ingredients. Perfect for a hearty dinner, this dish delivers tender, flavorful corned beef with perfectly cooked vegetables. Just set it and forget it!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb corned beef brisket (with spice packet)
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled & cut into 1–2 inch chunks
  • 12 small red potatoes
  • ½ head green cabbage, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Prep the Corned Beef:
    • Unwrap the corned beef and place it in the slow cooker, fat side up.
    • Sprinkle the spice packet over the top.
  2. Add Liquid:
    • Pour the beef broth around the corned beef.
  3. Cook the Beef:
    • Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours.
  4. Add Vegetables:
    • After 5 hours, add the onions, carrots, and potatoes.
    • Cover and cook on LOW for 1 more hour.
  5. Add Cabbage:
    • Place the cabbage wedges on top.
    • Cover and cook on LOW for 2 more hours.
  6. Serve:
    • Remove the corned beef and let it rest for 5 minutes.
    • Trim excess fat (if desired) and slice against the grain.
    • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the vegetables to a serving platter.

Notes

  • Fat Side Up: Cooking the corned beef fat side up keeps it moist and flavorful.
  • Slice Against the Grain: For the most tender meat, always slice against the grain.
  • Vegetable Timing: Add the cabbage later to prevent it from becoming too mushy.
  • Customize Spices: If your corned beef doesn’t come with a spice packet, use a mix of mustard seeds, coriander, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
