I use just brown sugar in mine and you wouldn’t believe the flavor it brings out, not to mention the flavor to the veggies
How much brown sugar do you use?
Tiffany, I would imagine Christine uses enough to taste, not a very large large amount ? ?
Did the meat get done in the 8_9 hours.?
It did Marle! 🙂
I will try adding some brown sugar, it sounds good.
The ingredients say to cut the brisket in half. What is the purpose of cutting it in half if you are putting it in a crock pot? I have a 7 qt crock pot. Would I need to cut it in half or could I put it in whole?
Tabatha it is not necessary to cut in half unless you need to fit it in the slow cooker. Your 7 quart most likely will fit the brisket without cutting in half. Thanks for the question and Happy Crocking!
To those suggesting the addition of brown sugar,
How much brown sugar do you add?
Thanks!!
Do we cook on high or low?
8-9 hours on Low Brandy! Happy Crocking!
I made this yesterday and must say it’s the best recipe for Corned Beef I have ever made. I have been cooking for over 50 years and was bored with my old standard recipe. WOW… this was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing !!!!
Thank you Roberta! Appreciate you taking the time to let me know! 🙂
Can this be cooked on HIGH for a shorter amount of time??
Thank you!
Lyn it can be crocked on high, and usually it will crock for about half the time so 4 – 5 1/2 hours. With that said usually Corned Beef is better if crocked on Low. Please let me know how it turns out. Happy Crocking!
Are the vegetables very soft in this recipe? We like ours a bit on the crunchy side. also I can’t see a post anywhere that tells how much brown sugar to use??
Hello, this recipe does not call for brown sugar, but if you prefer make this recipe your own and substitute for the white sugar. And the vegetables are tender, but you can alway add them during the crocking time and not at the beginning if you like them crunchy. Love it when we can make a recipe the way we like it! Happy Crocking!
What is the spice packet ?
Karen most of the time when purchasing Corned Beef from the grocery store it comes with a spice packet, and that is the packet this recipe is referring to! Thanks for the question! 🙂
If you were to use a Guiness beer to replace the water, would you eliminate anything such as the vinegar or sugar?
Good Question Melanie! I would think you would eliminate the vinegar, and substitute the beer for the water and the vinegar. Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
