This is the super easy recipe I use to make corned beef for Reubens when I don’t want to smoke the meat.

I’m not sure how often y’all have smoked meat before, but it takes a while. I am a busy person and as much as I enjoy a smoked brisket, I barely have the time.

This is not going to be a groundbreaking recipe, so if that is what you expect, please feel free to comment about it. I feed off of hate.

This recipe takes minimal effort, and 4-8 hours of time.

Recipe

• Corned beef brisket
• Sauerkraut (I just used canned sauerkraut)

Instructions

1. Add the corned beef, spice packet (usually included when you buy beef that has been corned), and 1-4 cups of sauerkraut into the Crock-Pot
2. Cook on low for 8 hours
   • Or cook on high for 4 hours
3. Shred the corned beef and strain out the liquid
   • I save the sauerkraut/brisket liquid to add into broths for soup! It’s so full of flavor so why waste it

Yup, that’s it. Pretty easy and I hope to enjoy it!
