SLOW-COOKED CORNED BEEF DINNER

Slow-Cooked Corned Beef Dinner image

Corned beef, potatoes and carrots are a delicious combo often served up on St. Patrick's Day. However, this recipe is so good we think you should make it any day of the year. Who wouldn't enjoy tender, spiced beef with steamed root vegetables in a flavorful broth? It's perfect as a cozy dinner in the winter, and corned beef leftovers are perfect for a Rebuen sandwich the next day. This corned beef and potato recipe is perfectly made in the slow cooker because brisket (the cut from which corned beef is made) needs a low and slow cook time to come out meltingly tender. With just 20 minutes of prep, it's easy to come home to slow-cooker corned beef with potatoes and carrots.
