Slow Cooker Mustard Glazed Corned Beef

Nothing says St. Patrick’s Day quite like corned beef. With only five ingredients you can make this delicious glazed version in your slow cooker.

Place the corned beef in the slow cooker crock and sprinkle pickling spices over the meat, then cover with water. We used the pickling spices that come packaged with the corned beef at the grocery store but you could also use your favorite brand of pickling spice or even a homemade version for this recipe.

Cook the corned beef on HIGH for 5 hours or LOW for 10 hours. Once the meat is done, remove it from the slow cooker and spread the brown sugar and mustard mixture on top. Broil for about 5 minutes or until the glaze is bubbly and golden brown. Add another layer of the mustard mixture and repeat until the glaze is thick.

The sweet glaze is a welcomed contrast to the salty corned beef. Serve with sauerkraut and your favorite Irish Stout for a meal perfect for any St. Patrick’s Day celebration. If the luck of the Irish is with you, you might even have enough leftover corned beef to make reuben sandwiches later in the week.

  1. I add a 1 and a half cups of red wine and slow cook for 5 and a half hours. Then after 4 hours put in some red small potatoes and cabbage let simmer the last 1hr &a half. You talking lip smacking good.

  2. I grabbed the corned beef out the freezer and will be putting that baby on just before I lay down. I can already taste it with eggs in the morning….

  3. I agree..good idea I am using this year. Will take corned beef out @ 3 hr mark and coat with mustard sauce, put small red potatoes in water (plenty of them) put meat on top, and surround with 2 medium heads cabbage, in half and quartered, will then cook 5 hr on low….hope as good as yours
