corned beef and cabbage

packaged corned beef with seasoning packet
1 bottle Guinness or some stout (We used an Oatmeal Stout this year, with great results)
2 potatoes, quartered
2 carrots, cut into thirds
2 small onions, quartered
1 small head cabbage, quartered

Place corned beef in bottom of crock pot. Add potatoes, carrots, onions and seasoning packet. Pour stout on top, then add cabbage. Cook on low for 10-12 hours or high for 5-6. I’ve even cooked it for 3 hours on high, then five hours on low. Season to taste. If you need to make more cabbage take some juice from the crock pot, place in a large pot on the stove with additional quartered. Bring to a boil and simmer to desired doneness.
