Crockpot Stout Corned Beef



2-3 lbs corned beef briskets, package juices and spice packet included
2 medium onions, peeled and cut in 8ths
2 cups beef broth
1 (15 ounce) can young's double chocolate stout beer (or Guinness, if you prefer, but the non-bitter Young's is really nice)
1/2 red onion, sliced thinly

1. Peel and cut the medium onions (whatever type you prefer, white or yellow etc) into 8ths, and place them in the bottom of your crockpot. Open up the packaged corned beef and pour all of the juices contained in the bag into the crockpot (the producer's directions recommend using the juices, as well). Place the corned beef on top of the onions, then sprinkle with the spice packet. Pour the beef broth over the corned beef, careful not to dislodge too much of the spice packet ingredients, then do the same with the can of stout. Arrange the sliced red onion over the top of the beef.
2. Put the crockpot on low and cook for 4 hours, then turn the beef over and cook an additional 4 hours (or you can cook on high for 2, turn, and cook an additional 2 or until it is as tender as you'd like). Slice and serve.
