3 carrots, sliced thick

Instructions

Add the sliced onion to the slow cooker.
Rinse your corned beef and pat dry. Place it in the slow cooker and sprinkle with the seasoning packet included.
Add the baby potatoes on top of the beef; if larger, halve them for tenderness. Add the carrots and garlic.
Pour the water over the mixture. If you want ultra-tender cabbage, add it now; otherwise, add it during the last 2 hours of cooking.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
Cook on HIGH for 5 hours or LOW for 8 hours total. If adding cabbage later, ensure it fits or cut thinner.
Remove the beef to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve the beef with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage for a complete meal.
Optionally drizzle melted butter over the potatoes and serve with horseradish mustard or stone ground mustard.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using beef broth instead of water.
Adjust the cooking time based on the size of your brisket, bigger cuts may need more time.
Feel free to add other vegetables like turnips or parsnips for variety.
