Slow Cooker Corned Beef

2-3 lb whole corned beef
2 lb white potatoes, peeled, cubed
1 lb carrots, peeled, cubed
1 lb turnips, peeled, cubed
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 1/2 c water

This recipe is very simple:

Trim the fat from your corned beef (if desired). In a large slow cooker, add your vegetables, then your corned beef. Add water, then sprinkle with cracked black pepper. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Remove corned beef and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.  Serve with cornbread and veggies. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
