Crock Pot Stout Corned Beef

Ingredients

• 2-3 lbs corned beef briskets, package juices and spice packet included
• 2 medium onions, peeled and cut in 8ths
• 2 cups beef broth

• 1 (15 ounce) can young's double chocolate stout beer (or Guinness, if you prefer, but the non-bitter Young's is really nice)
• 1/2 red onion, sliced thinly

Directions

1. 1

   Peel and cut the medium onions (whatever type you prefer, white or yellow etc) into 8ths, and place them in the bottom of your crock pot.

2. 2

   Open up the packaged corned beef and pour all of the juices contained in the bag into the crock pot (the producer's directions recommend using the juices, as well).

3. 3

   Place the corned beef on top of the onions, then sprinkle with the spice packet.

4. 4

   Pour the beef broth over the corned beef, careful not to dislodge too much of the spice packet ingredients, then do the same with the can of stout.

5. 5

   Arrange the sliced red onion over the top of the beef.

6. 6

   Put the crock pot on low and cook for 4 hours, then turn the beef over and cook an additional 4 hours (or you can cook on high for 2, turn, and cook an additional 2 or until it is as tender as you'd like).

7. 7

   Slice and serve with Simmered Cabbage recipe #100417, carrots, and potatoes of your choice.

8. 8

   Note: although you can use Guiness in this instead of the Young's, I recommend trying to find the double chocolate stout because of the delicious, rich, non-bitter taste it imparts to the corned beef!
