Servings 8 servings
Calories 548kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion sliced
- 3-4 pound flat corned beef brisket (with seasoning packet and brine)
- 5 large red potatoes peeled and cut into 2” pieces
- 4 large carrots peeled and cut into 2” pieces
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 head cabbage outside leaves removed, cut into 6 sections
- 1-½ cups water
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Spray a 6 quart (or larger) crock pot with cooking spray.
- Lay the onion slices on the bottom to create an ‘onion bed’. Place the corned beef brisket on top of the onions with the fat side up.
- Sprinkle the seasoning packet all over the top of the corned beef.
- Arrange the potatoes and carrots around the outside of the corned beef, as much as possible. If some are laying on the top, this is ok.
- Add the cabbage sections on top of the entire dish, then salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour in the water and reserved brine. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- When the roast is done, remove it from the crockpot. Place it on a cutting board covered with foil. Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. It will be that much more juicy and tender!
Notes
If you are in a hurry, you can cook this on high heat for 5 hours, but it's really best on low heat.
