St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays for one sole reason: the corned beef . I wait 364 days out of the year to buy a huge corned beef brisket. And since I only get to do this once a year, I go all out – from the baby potatoes to the lemon roasted cabbage.

It's quite a spread, and also a bit too much work so this slow cooker version comes in super handy. All you have to do is dump everything into the slow cooker and you're set! Really. There's no searing, no dicing, no nothing. Even you veggies can get thrown in there as is.

Easy peasy. Although I should warn you – since this recipe is practically effortless, you'll be tempted to make this more often than just once a year. There's no judgment here though – I've honestly made it twice just this last month! After all, I can just chalk that up to "recipe-testing," right?
