This was good. My bf enjoyed it even more than I did! I thought the whole thing was going to be a total disaster though.... I placed a 3 lb. corned beef brisket, a bottle of Guiness stout, garlic, peppercorns, the spice packet packaged with the meat and enough water to cover my brisket by an inch as directed (about 2 cups worth) in my slow cooker, turned it on low for 9 hours and went about my day. At 3 PM, I plugged in my bread machine to make some homemade rye bread (mmmmmm....). Around 7:30 PM (i.e. "dinner time"), I checked on my brisket, and saw that my sc was off (argh!)!!! Since the brisket was still warm, I turned the sc back on low for an additional 5 hours (I think it turned off when I plugged my bread machine in, but thank goodness I knew WHEN I initially turned it on, and adjusted accordingly). I was home sick on St. Paddy's day, so my bf came to visit and we had our ruben sandwiches then (but I really was craving them the Sunday prior!). The meat was fall-apart tender. We served ours on the bread I made Sunday afternoon with a generous helping of homemade thousand island dressing, sauerkraut and swiss cheese. A brief broiling toasted our reubens to perfection! Served with kettle chips, stout to wash it down and mint brownies for dessert, this made for a filling and festive meal! Thanks for sharing :)
