The amount of Corned Beef I have listed on the recipe card is a suggestion. Locally I can only find them in 3-4 pounds weights. I’ve made this recipe with a 3 1/2 pound corned beef brisket (flat cut) without any issues.
You can add a few more veggies if you want. As long as everything fits in your slow cooker you are good to go! Just make sure the corned beef brisket has reached an internal temperature of 145°F.
Slow Cooker Tip
Try to resist as much as possible the temptation to open the lid while it’s cooking as the slow cooker loses heat. By just opening the lid to stir the contents can make the internal temperature drop by 10°F to 15°F.
What is Corned Beef
Corned Beef is basically a beef brisket. The brine is a mixture of spices and salt. There are several different cuts of Corned Beef Briskets but I usually use a flat cut when making this recipe. You can always use a point-cut corned beef for this recipe if that is what you prefer.
