Place corned beef brisket inside the bottom of your slow cooker.
3-4 pound corned beef brisket
Pour beer (or beef broth) over brisket, enough water to cover completely (I used 9 cups of water), and Worcestershire sauce.
9 cups water, 4 cups dark beer, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
Sprinkle the spice packet that your corned beef came with inside of the pot. Toss in your bay leaves.
2 bay leaves
Place the lid on your slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
Toss in your potatoes, carrots, celery, and cabbage. Season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook on low for another 4-5 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the meat shreds with a fork.
5 large red potatoes, 3 large carrots, ½ head cabbage, 2 stalks celery, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper
Remove the meat from the slow cooker and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the corned beef against the grain or shred it.
Garnish with fresh parsley (optional). Serve vegetables and sliced corned beef on a plate, and enjoy!
1 tablespoon fresh parsley

- Feel free to add more flavorings to the broth! Garlic cloves, extra pickling spices, and beef broth all add extra flavor for an incredible beef dinner.

- You can also shred the beef! It'll come out of the pot beautifully fork tender and perfect for slicing or shredding.
