Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage



Picked up some corned beef from Heck's Meat Company in Fallon, NV  (https://www.facebook.com/HecksMeatCompany) today.  Had Cook it up today!  It is so good!  Something to be said for a real butcher shop!  It had to be ordered ahead of time so that it could process.  It came out so good!  I think I already said that!  But can't say it enough!

Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage

1 1/2 pounds peeled baby carrots
2 1/2 pounds red potatoes, quartered
1 onion, peeled and cut into bite size pieces
4 cups water
4 pounds corned beef brisket with spice packet
6 ounces of beer
head of cabbage cut into wedges

Place the carrots, potatoes and onion into the bottom of a slow cooker.  Pour in the water and place the brisket on top of the vegetables.  Pour the beer over the brisket.  Sprinkle on the spices from the packed, cover and set the cooker on high.  Cook for 6 hours (longer if cooking on low)

I steam the cabbage separately until fork tender.  When I take the brisket out to slice, I put the cabbage in the crock pot to soak up some of the juice.
