I cooked up this slow cooker corned beef specifically to make corned beef hash, but the leftovers were great sliced thin in a sandwich.

Time 6h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket, seasoning packet discarded
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
4 whole cloves
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 (15 ounce) can dark Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
2 medium heads garlic, cloves separated
4 leaf (blank)s bay leaves

Steps:

Place brisket, fat-side down, into a slow cooker. Cover with hot water and cook on High for 1 hour. Drain and discard water from the slow cooker.
Add peppercorns, cloves, cayenne, and cinnamon to a tea ball or spice bag. Place in the slow cooker with beer, garlic cloves, and bay leaves. Add more water to just cover the brisket.
Cook on Medium for 5 hours. Remove brisket carefully; it will be very tender and may fall apart or break in half. Let meat rest before slicing.
