Notes

I prefer flat cut brisket, as it is more uniform and easier to cut, but point brisket will also work.
You can swap the beef broth for vegetable broth, water, or Guinness beer.
For more tender cabbage, add it earlier; for crisper cabbage, add it later.
Properly cooked corned beef should be at least 145°F internally.
Slice the beef across the grain for tender meat.
Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.

Storage: Store crockpot corned beef and cabbage in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
