Scale

2–4 lbs. corned beef brisket (flat or point cut), (with seasoning packet that is included)
1 white onion, sliced, (this is optional but good!)
2 lbs. red or gold potatoes, (or a mixture of both!) peel them if you'd like!
3 carrots, sliced thick

Instructions

Add the sliced onion to the slow cooker.
Rinse the corned beef and pat dry. Place it in the slow cooker and sprinkle the seasoning packet on top.
Layer the baby potatoes atop the corned beef. If larger, cut them in half to ensure tenderness. Add the carrots and garlic as well.
Pour in the water. If you want the cabbage ultra-tender, add it now; otherwise, wait for the last 2 hours to add it.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
Cook on HIGH for 5 hours or LOW for 8 hours (add the cabbage during the last 2 hours). Adjust items in the pot as needed for space.
Once cooked, remove the meat onto a cutting board (letting it rest for 10 minutes) and slice it against the grain into strips.
Serve the meat alongside the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
Optionally drizzle melted butter over the potatoes and serve with horseradish or stone ground mustard.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using low-sodium broth instead of water.
Let the meat rest before slicing to retain juices and tenderness.
Adjust the vegetables based on your preference; feel free to add others like parsnips or turnips.
