SLOW COOKER CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

4 large carrots, peeled and cut into matchstick pieces
10 baby red potatoes,
quartered 1 onion, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cups water
1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
6 ounces beer
1/2 head cabbage, coarsely chopped

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 packet, cover, and set the cooker on High.
Cook the brisket for about 8 hours. An hour before serving, stir in the cabbage and cook for 1 more hour.

My Brisket was closer to three and a half pounds. I didn't cut the carrots into
matchstick pieces, I just peeled them and cut them into chunks. But, I followed the rest of the directions closely. I lifted the brisket out of the crockpot in order to put the cabbage under it, though.

It was delicious. I tried to slice the brisket thin (per Carol's request), but it was so tender that mostly it shredded. The meal was delicious. I served it with baked beans and rolls and butter on the side. THIS RECIPE IS A KEEPER
