Ingredients

12 pounds corned beef brisket
4 - 6 cups beef broth
10 potatoes cut in large chunks
2 medium heads cabbage cut in thick wedges
2 onions cut in thick wedges
8 ribs celery cut in 4" sections
1 pound carrots cut in 2" pieces

Instructions

Wrap each piece of beef in heavy duty foil and add packet of spices to the top of the beef before sealing the foil closed.
12 pounds corned beef brisket
Lay rack level in the bottom of a 20 quart or larger roaster. Add beef broth and any extra juices from the package to the bottom of the roaster.
4 - 6 cups beef broth
Lay foil wrapped beef in a single layer on top of the rack and set roaster to 300℉.
Check internal temperature of beef when adding vegetables and at hourly intervals. When it reaches an internal temperature of 145℉ it is done and can be removed. *see note below
Cook for 1 hour and add large chunks of potatoes to the bottom.
10 potatoes
Next add thick slices of cabbage and put the onion, celery and carrots on top.
2 medium heads cabbage, 2 onions, 8 ribs celery, 1 pound carrots
If possible keep vegetables out of the corners as they burn more easily.
Cook covered for another 1 1/2 to 2 hours until vegetables reach desired tenderness. Check every 30 minutes after 2 hours of roasting until done.
Slice meat and set slices on top of vegetables. Serve warm with the roaster on the lowest temperature setting.

Notes

The beef may get done and need removed before the vegetables are tender.

Keep tightly wrapped in foil and set aside (in a warming drawer or crock pot on keep warm) OR set on top of vegetables in the roaster while they cook.

We have tested this recipe multiple times and the thickness of the beef and amount of food in the electric roaster will greatly affect cooking time. Keeping the beef wrapped tightly in foil makes it easy to keep warm. It can be sliced and returned to the roaster to keep warm until serving.

For best results test this recipe in your own appliance and adjust the time and temperature as needed.
