Slow-Cooker Corned Beef

  • Prep 10 min
  • Total 4 hr 10 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 large potato, quartered
  • 1 large white onion, quartered
  • 2 carrots, cut into chunks
  • 2 celery stalks, cut into chunks
  • 2 1/2 pounds corned beef brisket, with the pickling spices
  • 4 cups chicken stock (or water)
  • 1 dried bay leaf

Steps

  • 1
    Place all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours.
  • 2
    Remove brisket from slow cooker and carve thin slices against the grain.
  • 3
    Discard vegetable solids from the slow cooker, but keep about a cup of the broth. Serve corned beef with any sides you prefer. Lightly pour the broth over the beef.

  • Fun fact: corned beef doesn’t have anything to do with corn at all! Corned beef is brined with large balls of salt, also known as “corns.”
  • This slow-cooker corned beef can be served traditionally with a side of cabbage and vegetables, but also tastes great when sliced and eaten on a sandwich. Just don’t forget to dress in leftover broth before eating for maximum flavor!
  • You can slow-cook the corned beef in chicken stock if desired, but if you’re trying to be mindful of your sodium intake, choose a low-sodium stock or substitute with water instead.
