Maple and Mustard flavor this easy Slow Cooker Corned Beef which is perfect for a change of pace on St. Patrick’s Day.
For the last few years I’ve made a standard Corned Beef and Cabbage. Though that meal turns out great, I really wanted to step this meal up a notch. The first thing I did differently was I ditched that pickling seasoning packet that comes with the corned beef.
This was the first time I’ve cooked a corned beef without the pickling packet, and I have no regrets! I could taste the true flavor of the meat, and I didn’t have peppercorns popping in my mouth. This is a fun and unique recipe to try for St. Patrick’s Day.
Another recipe we make this time of year is slow cooker corned beef hash! It’s great with an over-easy egg.
How to make Maple Mustard Corned Beef:
- Choose a corned beef, I use flat cut if I can find it though point cut works great too!
- Gather your ingredients; cooking oil to brown the corned beef, maple syrup, yellow mustard, garlic and black pepper.
- Mix together the sauce ingredients. Set aside.
- Brown the corned beef on all sides.
- Pour the maple-mustard mixture over the corned beef. Place the lid on the slow cooker.
- Cook for 7 hours on low.
- Serve and enjoy.

Why don’t people comment AFTER they have made the dish? Seriously! Before I waste a meal and time.

Why don’t YOU? Do you expect someone else to do your experimenting work so you don’t have too? Get a life, freeloading bum!!!
angie says
could you please tell me which part of the cow you call corned beef? I live in France, love your recipes but don’t know what to buy at the butcher shop to make this delicious looking meal. Thanks!!!
Sarah Olson says
Hi Angie! Corned beef is brisket, and it is marinated or “brined” to make it “corned beef”. 🙂

This sounds delish! Did you use brown or yellow mustard?

I like the idea of mashed potatoes with the corned beef. I make corned beef and cabbage exactly once a year (haha) and I always make it in the slow cooker. I love how tender it cooks up the meat! I’ll have to try your flavorings on mine this year.

We were hosting our wine club dinner tonight. Tried the recipe a week ago, and thought it was great. Served it tonight for a very discerning group, and got nothing but outstanding comments! And by the way, goes well with a medium off-dry Riesling, Burgundy Cote Chalonnaise, and a good Beaujolais!!
