How to Make Simple Corned Beef Crock Pot

  1. Remove corned beef from its plastic packaging and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Place 1 large thinly sliced onion in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  3. Place the rinsed corned beef on top of the onion slices.
  4. Add 2 bay leaves, 6 whole cloves, and 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns to the slow cooker.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of brown mustard, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
  6. Pour the water mixture over the corned beef, ensuring it's mostly submerged.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for approximately 5 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
  8. Once cooked, carefully remove the corned beef from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful result.
