Scale

2–4 lbs. corned beef brisket (flat or point cut), (with seasoning packet that is included)
1 white onion, sliced, (this is optional but good!)
2 lbs. red or gold potatoes, (or a mixture of both!) peel them if you'd like!
3 carrots, sliced thick

Instructions

Place the sliced onion in the slow cooker.
Rinse the corned beef, pat it dry, and add to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the beef.
Layer the baby potatoes on top of the beef. Halve larger potatoes for tenderness. Add the sliced carrots and garlic cloves.
Pour the water over the ingredients. If you prefer ultra-tender cabbage, add it now; otherwise, wait until the last 2 hours of cooking.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
Cook on HIGH for 5 hours or LOW for 8 hours total, adding cabbage in the last 2 hours. Adjust the pot's contents to fit the cabbage, if necessary.
Once cooking is complete, transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve the sliced meat alongside the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
Optionally, drizzle melted butter over the potatoes and serve with horseradish mustard or stone ground mustard.

Notes

The recipe can be made ahead of time; simply reheat when ready to serve.
For a more flavorful broth, consider adding beef broth or a splash of beer instead of water.
Experiment with your favorite mustard as a condiment for added flavor.
