Instructions

Rinse the corned beef thoroughly to remove excess salt.
Place the rinsed corned beef in the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the spice packet, onion powder, brown sugar, and black pepper over the corned beef, then add the garlic cloves.
Pour in the beer, water, and hickory liquid smoke over the beef.
Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook for 7-8 hours.
After cooking, transfer the corned beef to a cutting board, allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice with a knife and serve.

Notes

For a spicier dish, consider adding more garlic or some red pepper flakes.
Using flat cut corned beef yields a more tender result, ideal for slicing for sandwiches.
Pair with marble rye, thousand island dressing, swiss cheese, and sauerkraut for a complete meal.
