Ingredients

2-3 lb corned beef brisket + seasoning packet
2 brown or yellow onions thickly sliced into rings
2 dried bay leaves
3 cups water
4 carrots peeled and cut into chunks
1 lb small red potatoes halved
1 small white cabbage roughly chopped

Instructions

Create a layer of onion slices in the bottom of the slow cooker and scatter over the seasoning packet. Place the corned beef, fat side up on top of the onions. Add the bay leaves and the water. Cook on low for 3 hours.
Add the carrot and potato around the beef and cook for a further 5 hours.
Add the cabbage around the beef, pushing it down into the liquid. Cook for a final 2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure the cabbage stays as submerged as possible.
Leave the beef to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the vegetables.

Notes

This recipe is for a 6 quart slow cooker. For a smaller slow cooker this recipe is easily halved, but using 2 full cups of cold water instead of 1 1/2 cups.
