Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, which means Americans nationwide are gearing up for a corned beef and cabbage feast. Despite being Irish-American myself, I’ve never eaten this St. Patrick’s Day staple before. My boyfriend, a huge corned beef fan, was really looking forward to having some, so I finally decided it was time to try to make it. I choose to adapt this recipe from Food Network for Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage so that I could use my slow cooker and not have to watch over it for hours.

Ingredients:
  • 4 pounds raw corned beef brisket
  • Pickling Spice (included with brisket)
  • 1 medium rutabaga, halved, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 5 large carrots, cut into 4-inch pieces
  • 1 bag red potatoes
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 leek, white and light-green parts only, sliced
  • 1/2 head cabbage, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard with horseradish
  • 1/3 cup crème fraiche or sour cream
