Ingredients

3 pounds Corned Beef with spice packet
1 can cola
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon dijon whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon garlic minced

Instructions

Open up the corned beef and remove it from the packaging. Place it in the bottom of your slow cooker insert. Reserve the spice packet that came with the corned beef.
In a 2-cup or larger pourable measuring cup, add the remaining ingredients. Make sure you include the spice packet as well. Whisk to combine. Pour liquid mixture over the corned beef.
Put the lid on your slow cooker. Set on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
Once the timer is done, the corned beef is ready. Remove it carefully from the hot liquid and CrockPot. Place on a cutting board and let it rest about 5 minutes before slicing.
Using a sharp knife or electric knife, slice the corned beef into medium to thin slices, whichever you prefer. To cut this correctly, slice against the grain so you will have slices that hold together and do not shred.
Serve with your favorite side dishes.
To store, place in air-tight containers and keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or up to 3 months in the freezer.
