"Just like yo' Irish mama used to make, and the brisket will melt in your mouth. Get a center cut of meat, not the 'point.' Super-tender and slices really nicely, just like butter. What little was leftover was made into a great hash the following morning."
Method for Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage
- 1Spread baby carrots, potatoes, and onion into the bottom of a slow cooker crock. Pour water over the vegetables.
