Mom always makes her corned beef and cabbage on the stove top, so for many years I carried on the tradition. Another favorite preparation is this beer-braised corned beef.
But since I'm always looking for ways to make things quicker, easier and simpler, for the past few years I've been experimenting with different slow cooker corned beef and cabbage recipes instead. I'm so glad I did.

Ingredients
- 3 pounds corned beef, trimmed of fat (discard the spice packet)

- 1-½ tablespoons mustard, preferably the grainy kind
Instructions
- Ideal Slow Cooker Size: 6-Quart. Spray the inside of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray.

- In a small bowl, stir together the maple syrup and mustard. Rub this mixture all over the meat.
- Place the meat into your crockpot, and cover. (There's no need to add liquid.)
- Cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, or until meat pulls apart easily with a fork. Let sit for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

This is way better than the boiled corned beef I grew up with. It also works well in the oven or on the grill. Thank you.

Why are you adding calories when you cook corned beef and all your adding is water nothing else just the packet of spices, you cook the veggies after while the meat is resting, I don't understand why you are putting a mustard sauce on te meat, it ruins the flavor
