Slow Cooker Corned Beef

corned beef brisket

🥗Healthier: lean turkey breast

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Turkey is lower in fat, while pork is often more affordable.

cabbage

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: green cabbage

Kale is nutrient-dense, while green cabbage is widely available.

Place 1 large onion, large dice, 6 carrots, peeled, cut in large chunks and 4 celery stalks, cut in large chunks into the bottom of an 8-quart slow cooker.

Place 3-4 pounds corned beef brisket with seasoning packet, drained on top and sprinkle the seasoning mix over everything.

Pour in 4 cups unsalted beef stock, followed by 12 ounces lager beer.

Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours (note: cooking on low instead of high for a shorter period of time will give you the most tender meat).

Remove the corned beef from the cooker and leave the liquid in the pot (note: you can discard the vegetables or enjoy them with the corned beef).

Slice and serve with some of the liquid drizzled on top to keep it moist.
