Tips Tricks and FAQs

Be sure to rinse your corned beef brisket prior to placing it in the slow cooker. This helps rinse off the brine and make your meat less salty.
You can use the spice packet that comes with your corned beef but I use my own spice mixture. You can also add some red pepper flakes if you want a hint of spice as well.
You can omit the peppercorn and use fresh ground pepper instead.

Adding the Guiness Beer helps make this corned beef not too salty but extremely tender.
Place the corned beef fat side up. This will help with taste and allows the vegetables to not cook in a layer of fat.
Feel free to omit some of the vegetables.

The potatoes and the carrots absorb all the flavors of the spices and the Guinness. Making it the perfect one pot meal.
You can substitute the Guinness for a different Lager Beer if you would like.
If you prefer to omit the beer use 1 ½ cups of beef broth instead.

Storage

You will want to store your leftover crockpot corned beef and cabbage in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
