This is the only way I make corned beef now. I throw quartered potatoes into the crock pot with the meat, and they come out so flavorful.

I cooked it in my slow cooker; maybe that was the problem- I didn't follow directions. Mine turned out bitter- like the taste of cooked Guinness. I had added potatoes/cabbage about an hour before it was finished, as other reviewers had suggested, and boy, did they pick up the bitter flavor I am talking about. Maybe at some point I will try it again, and this time follow the directions as written.

I'm learning through trial and error that tough cuts of meat must be cooked for as long as it takes to get tender. Use the time given as a guideline and at the end test to see if it pulls apart easily. This recipe is delicious if you cook it long enough.

This is the most amazing corned beef ever! I follow the recipe to the letter and always enjoy the end result. I have always used a crock pot and cooked on high for about 8 hrs., so don't know how the oven version turns out, but the slow cooker version is definitely a keeper! I have added potatoes and carrots and the brown sugar/beer glaze makes them very tasty. Thanks Shameless!

My family loves this recipe. It is so moist and juicy. I do make this in the crock pot for about 5 hrs on low. I typically add 1/2 head of cabbage that is cut in quarters and separated about 1 hr before it's done cooking, otherwise you'll just have cabbage mush. Another thing is that the packaging companies seem to think one size fits all when it comes to the seasoning packet. So we looked at the seasoning packet and supplemented with what we had on hand to make sure it was flavorful.

This was sooo amazingly good. I looked at the comments on this recipe, and read about the person who said to fully submerge the meat in the guinness or else it will taste bitter. I used 2 bottles (they were all out of the cans) of guinness and it still was just barely sticking out. I was really nervous but I didn't want to add more beer. It all worked out though because when I added my vegetables later it all sunk into the beer and the end result....pure tender magic! I love corned beef and this by far raised the bar. I will definitely be making this again and again and again.

Very delicious. I added red potatoes, cabbage, and carrots for the last hour. Maybe next time I will try it in the slow cooker.

I really did not care for this at all. I could taste the Guiness and it wasn't what I was used to with corned beef. Next year will try something else.
