I found a 2.85 lb. "flat" corned beef brisket on sale at walmart and ended up on this site trying to figure out how exactly to cook it. I don't like cabbage so I just put baby carrots, onions, and potatoes in the bottom of the crock, put the brisket (unrinsed) on top fat side up with some baby carrots shoved down along the sides. I filled with water so it was almost to the top of the brisket and sprinkled in the little packet of spices that came with it. I also sprinkled a little dried thyme, fresh cracked black pepper, and put a bay leaf in. Cooked with the crock pot on low for a little over 8 hours and OMG was it so tender and good. Definitely cooking this again!!!

Followed directions exactly, using 3 lb corned beef (In bag with juices), rinsed well and put in slow cooker on top of vegetables, covered with 6 cups water so it was almost completely covered, 5 hours on high and it was too tough to eat! What did I do wrong?! So disappointed because we were really looking forward to it for 5 hours!

So good! I didn’t have an onion and put the cabbage on top st the beginning. Everything was done after about 6 hours on high. Added a little celery salt and a bay leaf. Delicious! Just as good as any other corned beef and cabbage that I’ve had before maybe even better!

I would rate this as five stars. It was just delicious. Easy to make. My husband loved it!

I followed the directions to the letter in my new All-Clad, beautiful crock pot. Cooked it on low 9 hours because my cabbage was in two hours and not done. I put it in the microwave to finish up and it was still a little undercooked. I did use regular cabbage because we love it. Not sure if the Savoy cabbage would be different. Also the meat wasn’t as tender as when I cook corned beef on the stove. This recipe will not be made again in the crock pot.

Hmmm. Kinda bland. Glad I read another recipe that recommended serving w creme fraiche which helped a lot. I cooked veggies from the beginning and they were perfect. Used tri-color bag of carrots! Pretty! Loved adding thyme. Could have used rosemary and salt.

It did not have enough salt or other flavorings. Very bland.

I make it exactly how the recipe is written above. I find it interesting that the video is done opposite of how she has it written. She says in recipe place veggies in crock, put corned beef on top fat side up and sprinkle with spices. Then in the video, she puts the meat in fat side down first, places veggies around and then the spices. Hmmm. Anyway, the written recipe is correct. Plus, I cut my cabbage in half, the place it cut side down on board to make wedges, much safer and uniform that way.

I followed used written and video instructions and some reviews as a guideline. I put meat on the bottom, carrots and onions, and thyme on top. Added a bay leaf, and a sprig of very finely chopped rosemary along with seasoning packet. I poured in a bottle of beer and then water. Cooked on high for 6 hours. Halfway through I added the cabbage. An hour and a half before end of cooking time I added in whole baby potatoes. Turned our delicious.

The written instructions worked perfectly! My dad said it was the best Corned Beef he ever had.
