HOW TO COOK CORNED BEEF IN A SLOW COOKER RECIPES

Steps:

• For the corned beef and cabbage: Cut the carrots into 3-inch-long pieces. Cut the onion in half, leaving the root end intact. Cut each half into 3 wedges (6 total). Put the carrots, onion and thyme in the bottom of a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Put the corned beef fat-cap side up over top of the carrots and onions in the slow cooker. Cover with 1 quart of water and sprinkle with the seasoning packet. Cover and cook high for 5 hours. For the honey mustard: Mix together the mustard and honey in a small bowl. Cut the cabbage into 4 wedges, leaving the core intact. Place the potatoes in the slow cooker around the sides of the corned beef and place the cabbage over top. Cover and cook over high for about 2 more hours, or until the corned beef is tender and the cabbage and potatoes are soft.  Slice the corned beef and serve with all of the vegetables and the honey mustard.
  

Steps:

• Place the corned beef in a large slow cooker and scatter the pickling spices on top. Layer the rutabaga, carrots, potatoes and leek in the cooker (in this order for even cooking). Add enough hot water (4 to 5 cups) to cover the meat by at least 1 inch, put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high, 7 to 8 hours.
• Remove the meat and vegetables from the slow cooker and keep warm. Put the cabbage in a microwave-safe dish with 2 cups cooking liquid from the slow cooker, cover and microwave until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, boil another cup of cooking liquid in a small skillet until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Mix with the horseradish and creme fraeche in a small bowl.
• Slice the corned beef and serve with the slow-cooked vegetables, cabbage and sauce; reserve about a quarter each of the meat and vegetables and 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid for Corned Beef Hash.
