Well, first of all, I totally messed up by only making one brisket. I thought that would be plenty. WRONG! Oh my, where has this recipe been my whole life?! I've had reubens before, but never had corned beef on it's own and the reubens I've had have never made me really want corned beef by itself. This beef was amazing... tender to the core, perfectly seasoned, just delicious. My fiance loves corned beef and he said this was the best he's ever had. I used one brisket, 5 cloves of garlic, no peppercorns (forgot to buy them), and even though I used only one brisket I still used the entire spice pack. I can't imagine it possible to make this taste any better. I cooked the brisket in my slow cooker for 8 hours on low, then added potatoes and carrots. Let those cook for an hour, then removed the meat (tented it in foil), and added wedges of cabbage and cooked for another 30 minutes on high. Absolute perfection... the vegetables were as tender and flavorful as any I've had. There is no way I will wait until next St. Patrick's Day to make this again. Thank you!
