Day 11.I've never made this before, and it worked! I love it when that happens.
We had a frozen solid Shenson's Corned Beef from Costco waiting to be cooked for the past few months.
Corned beef is not my favorite, but I married a very Irish man. It seems to make him happy.
And when he's happy he takes out the garbage.
and folds laundry.
and doesn't get mad that there isn't any gas in the van and that it seems to happen that way every time he needs drive it.
Making corned beef in a slow cooker is incredibly easy. So easy, I don't really know why it isn't always prepared this way.
If you are gluten free please read the label carefully each and every time -- manufacturers sometimes change ingredients on a whim with little to no notice.
1 package of Corned Beef with seasoning packet
some potatoes (I used 8 mini white potatoes cut in fourths)
1 bunch of celery cut in 2-inch chunks
1 largish handful of baby carrots
1/2 cup of water (Do not add if you are making this the night before. Add right before cooking.)
The Directions:
Chop up potatoes and celery and put them in the bottom of the crock. Trim excess fat from hunk o' meat. Try not to hurl. Rinse the meat well to help release some of the salt.
Place the meat on top of veggies. Sprinkle on seasoning packet. Add water.

Drink wine. This is hard work. You deserve it.
I assembled everything the night before (minus the water), and put it into a tupperware in the refrigerator.
In the morning I dumped the food into the slow cooker and added water. I cooked this for 10 hours. If you are cooking on high, I'd check after 5 hours or so.
Viva la leprochauns!
