{Pinned there, Done That} Crockpot Corned Beef , Potatoes, and Cabbage

I have been making Corned Beef for quite a few years (mom's recipe) with RAVE reviews. No joke, it was my late father-in-laws favorite meal... and if my mother-in-law catches wind that I'm making it, she will show up unannounced. So I was hesitant to try a new recipe; but since I've been looking for some new crockpot recipes due to our busy schedule I figured I'd give it a shot.

What I normally do is boil the corned beef in the given seasoning packet, then remove and bake at 350* for 15min covered in a dry mustard, brown sugar, ginger, and soy sauce glaze. Then let it set for 15 minutes. The glaze, I say, totally makes the recipe! WHich is probably why we enjoyed this recipe.... I removed the corned beef and baked it for 15 minutes with my glaze on it.

 I wasn't a HUGE fan of the carrots; maybe it's because I didn't use low-sodium chicken broth, but I thought they were a bit salty. Hubby, on the other hand, LOVED everything about it. Though he wouldn't tell me which recipe was better.
