Followed the recipe to a tee and after reading other reviews, obviously that was the problem. This is bland and gross, and after an hour and a half on high the cabbage was still not cooked! I should have used a different recipe! Had a starving family I couldn't feed until late, and I ended up cooking the cabbage on the stove... It gets its one star because the corned beef came out the right amount of tenderness.

Cooked on HIGH for the first hour because we needed this done a little quicker. Next 6 hours I cooked this on LOW. Put the cabbage in for a half an hour on HIGH and it came out a little crispy for my taste. Probably could have been in for 45 mins or so. Veggies were perfectly cooked. Beef was perfect and tender but not a mess as can sometimes happen with slow cooked meats. Very good recipe.

Best corned beef I've ever made. This is an excellent recipe. Followed recipe exactly. Use 1 pint Guinness. Veggies weren't mushy - cabbage just right. This is a big winner!

I have this in the crock pot right now, and if it's even half as good as the last three times I have made it, it still deserves four stars! Add an extra bottle of stout if you have one handy, and I usually add a couple of bay leaves and a bunch of whole peppercorns because the little spice packet just doesn't pack enough punch for me. Try this recipe and FOLLOW IT! Do not cut the cooking time short or you will not get good results. Remeber that it is called a slow cooker for a reason.

Veggies turning to mush was my biggest fear (well that and a chewy tough brisket I saw another reviewer say that she cooked beef for less than recommended time and that it was already tough and so she unfairly gave this recipe 1 star. If cooked the recommended time, it will be tender and perfect. Do not cut it short with corned beef or it will be chewy and tough. I cooked on low for 9 hours and it was perfect!!! I also had to force myself not to lift the lid and just let it do it's thing. It needs to bubble and be left alone, that is secret to getting it cooked right. Close that lid and try not to lift lid for a few hours, unless you must. Sadly the veggies were too mushy for me. I wish I would have added later, or cooked the potatoes separately as some recommend. Also, I will omit the celery next time. It just did not look good and did not work in this recipe. It turns mushy and the color is weird.

The recipe is excellent, but - when you buy beef, you do NOT rinse it. My crock pot is very wide and deep so I had to double up on the liquid ingredients my first time trying it. I'm not a celery fan, but I found that nearly tripling the celery was actually a very good thing. And heck, I like carrots when they are cooked with beef.
Call me crazy but I added a spoon of yellow mustard to the mix when I tried it last time, and it was pretty good. I like this recipe!.

Easiest yummiest recipe! Now my man requests this all year-round, not just St Patty's!
A tip is to brown the meat before as well as the veggies.. I also trim most of the fat off.
Thank you for such a simple yet tasty treat :0

Being a big fan of slow-cookery and wanting to properly honor St. Patrick, I gave this recipe a try. The results were WONDERFUL! After 10 hours, the celery turned to mush, so next time I will add it later in the cooking process. I cheated a bit; rather than adding 12 oz of stout, I used THREE cans of Guinness. How tasty!
