Best corned beef recipe cooked corned beefThe Best Corned Beef Recipe Ever

This recipe is what I use to make the best-corned beef for what I call the California Rueben Sandwiches. The corned beef must be cooked a day ahead so that it can be cooled overnight so that it can be sliced thinly the next day.  We usually make an extra one for corned beef tacos and corned beef hash for later on.

Directions

In a large crockpot place the briskets. Take the spice packets and add them to the briskets. Open the beers and pour over the briskets. Add water to cover the briskets by 1 inch. Add the garlic and bay leaves. Cover and set crock pot to high. Once the liquid comes to a boil cook for 4-5 hours.  Check halfway thru the cooking process that there is enough water to keep the briskets covered. Add more water as needed.
When done shut off the crockpot and allow the meat to cool enough to handle without breaking apart. Carefully remove the briskets and set on a platter. Cover the brisket with foil when cool. Place in the refrigerator for chilling overnight if making it for The California Reuben Sandwiches.
