Crock Pot Corned Beef with Guinness
A bite of Irish perfection– corned beef, roasted potatoes, and a brussel sprout.
Apparently I make corned beef in the crock pot every year and I’ve already posted multiple recipes, so here’s a summary of past years and what I did for 2016. This attempt might be the easiest and my favorite!!
Quick summation of leprechauns past…
First recipe for Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage is a full Saint Patrick’s Day dinner in a pot. It includes the cabbage and the potatoes right in with the meat, making it an easy one-pot meal.
The next Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe is the easiest with very minimal ingredients, but still a great flavor. You can vary the taste by using different beers.
TODAY’S recipe is the most favorite yet, but still only uses three ingredients. You will need to make the Crock Pot Caramelized Onions in advance, but they are delicious to have on hand and use in so many different meals!
This casserole shaped crock pot is so useful for a variety of meals!
I used my Crock Pot Casserole Cooker and it was the perfect shape for the beef– sometimes it’s so frustrating to get a big corned beef and then not have it fit into an oval pot!! This one was exactly the right fit.
Hope you have a fabulous Saint Patrick’s Day celebration this week. No matter if you were born with the luck of the Irish, married into the apostrophe, or are just enjoying being green…. maybe it be a delicious day for all!
Crock Pot Corned Beef with Guinness
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 7-8 hours
1 5-lb. Corned Beef Brisket
1 pint Guinness beer
1/2 c. Crock Pot Caramelized Onions
Rinse meat before putting into the crock pot to remove the goo. Throw away the seasoning packet, if it was included. Put meat in, fat side up. Pour beer directly onto meat and then put caramelized onions into the liquid and onto the meat. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Remove from liquid and let sit for 5 minutes, then remove top layer of fat and discard it. Slice meat against the grain and serve.
If you have leftovers, this meat makes great corned beef hash or reuben sandwiches, too! Enjoy!
