Corned Beef and Cabbage in the crock pot

You know how I love my slow cooker. This is one of those meals that looks really time consuming and difficult but in reality is simple and easy!







Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: approx. 10 hours

Ingredients:
* 6 carrots, cut into chunks
* 4 potatoes, cut in half
* 2 stalks of celery, chopped
* 2 onions, sliced
* 2-3 lb. corned beef brisket with seasoning packet
* 12 oz. can Guinness beer
* 2 Tbsp. spicy brown mustard
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 1 cup water
* 8 wedges cabbage

Preparation: In 6 quart crockpot, combine celery and onions. Rinse corned beef under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in crockpot. In small bowl mix brown sugar with water and beer and pour over brisket. Spread mustard on brisket and sprinkle seasoning packet on top. Cover crockpot and cook on low setting for 6-8 hours.
Add potatoes and carrots and cook an additional 2 hours.

Remove corned beef from crockpot and cover with foil to keep warm. Add cabbage wedges to vegetables and liquid in crockpot. Cover crockpot and cook on high for additional 30-40 minutes or until cabbage is crisp tender. To serve, cut beef across grain into thin slices. Remove vegetables from slow cooker with slotted spoon and serve with beef. Serve cooking juices over the meal, if desired. Offer additional mustard on the side.
