    Hands down, this is the best way to make corned beef with minimal effort. Simply, let your crockpot do all the work for you. This is so easy, so tender and so flavorful.

    I've seen packages of corned beef for years now in stores but never dared to approach!!. May be, this is due to my deep childhood love for the corned beef we are used to have in Egypt, that I did not want to try any other corned beef!

    Diced corned beef with veggies and a loaf of bread in the back.

    But boy, did I miss a lot!

    The moment I smelled this corned beef, I was hooked 😍. When the boys came back from school they started sniffing around my slow cooker like hungry sharks, I love it when they do that. I did not expect it to taste that great either, especially when I opened the package and was horrified with the amount of fat on top.

    Seriously, this turned me down immediately 😑.

    Diced corned beef with veggies a fork on the side and bread.

    But being an adventurer in the kitchen, I decided to proceed. I added some spices to make it more flavorful and more appealing to our taste. Added some colorful veggies, but did not add cabbage as this would have made my kiddos run away.

    Let me show you how crazy simple this is...

    Steps for preparing corned beef in the slow cooker.

    It is as simple as throwing everything and set.

    In the bottom of the slow cooker add onions and garlic, top that with your beef brisket and now comes the different spices. Cardamom, cloves, bay leaves and the spice packet that comes with the brisket. Cover with water, set and forget.

    Throwing colorful carrots and potato in the slow cooker.

    Before it finishes cooking by one hour, add the carrots and potatoes. I do not like my veggies mushy so it is up to you when to add the veggies. I have found that one hour of cooking is enough.

    That's pretty much all!

    Take the beef out, trim the fat and slice. Juicy, tender and so flavorful. You can of course cook cabbage with the other vegetables for the whole experience.

    An easy meal, with minimal effort and a great result. No searing, no special dicing, no nothing. You can also throw your veggies in as is.
