🥩 Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Dr Pepper Corned Beef
This easy recipe uses just 4 ingredients and the slow cooker does all the work. The Dr Pepper adds a slightly sweet, rich flavor that makes the corned beef incredibly tender.
🛒 Ingredients
1 (3–4 lb) corned beef brisket with spice packet
1 can (12 oz) Dr Pepper
½ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
👩🍳 Instructions
Place the corned beef in the slow cooker, fat side up.
Sprinkle the spice packet (included with the brisket) over the meat.
In a small bowl, mix Dr Pepper, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard.
Pour the mixture over the corned beef.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the meat is tender.
Remove the beef and slice against the grain.
Spoon some of the slow-cooker sauce over the slices before serving.
🍽️ Optional Add-Ins
You can add these during the last 2–3 hours of cooking:
Baby potatoes
Carrots
Cabbage wedges
⭐ Tips
For a thicker glaze, pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan and simmer for 5–10 minutes.
Let the meat rest 10 minutes before slicing so it stays juicy.
✅ Serving idea: Great with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or on sandwiches the next day.
