4 to 5large carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks(about 1 pound)
½headgreen cabbage, core removed, cut into 6 wedges
Instructions
Remove brisket from liquid it is packaged in and remove the included seasoning packet. Place brisket in a large (6 qt.) slow cooker, fat side up; sprinkle the seasoning packet over the brisket. Pour beef broth around the brisket, until it is about level with the top of the brisket.
Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, uncover and arrange potatoes and carrots around the brisket. Replace cover and cook for another 2 hours on high.
Remove cover and arrange cabbage wedges on top of corned beef. Replace cover and cook for an additional 1 hour (6 hours total cooking time for the brisket).
Remove vegetables from the slow cooker; keep warm. Carefully remove the brisket and place on a cutting board. Cut into slices against the grain.
Serve the corned beef with the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.

Notes
If desired, you may also cook the brisket on low for 10 hours. Add potatoes and carrots halfway through cook time and add cabbage the last 1 to 2 hours of cook time.
Corned beef may be cooked without vegetables if you prefer. Cook as directed for 6 hours, omitting potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
If you're unable to be home partway through the cook time to add the potatoes and carrots, you could add them right away with the brisket. It's not preferable as their texture will not be as good (they'll be more mushy), but they're still edible.
