Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage

We're not Irish and I don't particularly like corned beef and I hate cabbage, but what the heck...

This is a good recipe - it's easy and the beef stays moist.  However, there was a little bitterness, probably from the spices in the spice packet.

Ingredients

• 4 large carrots peeled and cut into matchstick pieces
• 10 baby red potatoes quartered
• 1 onion peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 cups water
• 1 (4 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
• 6 ounces beer
• 1 ⁄2 head cabbage coarsely chopped

Directions

Place the carrots, potatoes, and onion into the bottom of a slow cooker, pour in the water, and place the brisket on top of the vegetables. Pour the beer over the brisket. Sprinkle on the spices from the packet, cover, and set the cooker on High.
Cook the brisket for about 8 hours. An hour before serving, stir in the cabbage and cook for 1 more hour.
