This recipe is so easy and it turns out perfect EVERY time, plus it is really really good. If you don’t have Guinness then any dark beer will do, bottle or can is fine. The first time I made this I added cabbage but I didn’t care for the flavor of the cabbage, so now I make Baked Cabbage Rounds to go with it. They are super easy, healthy and good too.

Your welcome!
Holly. I am trying to plan my meal time. I have a 3.75 flat corn beef. You say 9-10 hours on low. Would 9 hours be about right. Thank You!
Hi Casey, 8 or 9 hours should be fine.
