I know St. Patrick's Day is still twelve days away, but I saw a corned beef brisket in the grocery store and couldn't resist buying it.



I had always cooked it on the stove and it always was tough. So I thought why not try the slow cooker. I searched the Internet for a recipe and found several. I combined two or three with my own ideas and this is what I came up.



My slow cooker is a large oval and the brisket was about two pounds. I put the meat in the cooker and added two cans of low sodium beef broth and two cans of water. Then I added the seasoning packet. I also added one peeled and halved potato to soak up some of the sodium. I set the timer to cook on low for eight and half hours.



One and half hours before the time was up I removed the original potato and tossed it. I then added more peeled and quartered potaotes ( you can add as many as you want), and a small head of cabbage cut in small pieces.



At the end of eight and half hours the beef was pull apart tender and the vegetables just right.



This meal was super delicious; tender beef, sweet cabbage and firm potatoes. My husband raved about it and had second helpings, so my plan for corned beef sandwiches for the following day vanished. Next time I'll have to get a bigger brisket.



You can make this recipe your own by adding any vegetable, such as carrots, onions, garlic, turnips or parsnips. Whatever spice or seasoning you like can be added as well.



You still have time to try it for St. Patrick's Day. Your family will love it and think you should be on the Food Network.



Enjoy.
