"I first tried this fuss-free way to cook traditional corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day a few years ago. Now it's a regular in my menu planning. This is terrific with Dijon mustard and crusty bread."—Karen Waters, Laurel, Maryland

Classic flavors in a slow cooker. I make this every year for St. Patrick's Day.

I loved cooking the corned beef in the slow cooker. Brisket turned out very moist. Don't forget to cut AGAINST the grain for tender slices.

I have been making this recipe since it was posted in 1999. I am now using a roaster to cook this as I cook 2 corned beefs. I invite all of my extended family (about 20 people) to enjoy this wonderful meal. This is my favorite corned beef and cabbage recipe!

We tried this recipe. It is a really good recipe. I really like it dipped in the mustard. We will make this recipe again.

My husband and I eat corned beef and cabbage all the time, but this was the first time in a slow cooker. We didn't like the sweet taste the sugar and possibly the vinegar gave it, so next time I will eliminate them from the recipe. Denise from N.Y.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I thought this recipe was awful. I've made corned beef many times and I thought the sugar in this recipe gave it a really horrible taste. I'm very disappointed.
