Never in my life have I needed an excuse to make corned beef. Whenever it goes on sale I am the first to load up my grocery cart. Yep, load up. Stack them high, I say. One of my favorite ways to prepare them is this slow cooker corned beef. Nothing fancy, nothing difficult, but awfully tasty, juicy and tender. Perfect for whatever I plan on using it in (most likely, Reuben sandwiches!).
A Couple Of Thoughts
It’s pretty easy to make minor changes to this recipe for slow cooker corned beef and end up with a totally different dish. Spicy chili sauce will add a nice kick. Cherry cola instead of ‘normal’ soda will add a nice twist. I highly recommend using my homemade onion soup mix. I think it’s much better than that stuff in a pouch.
