Instructions

In a small bowl, mix all the spices together (including the package of spices that comes with the corned beef) until combined.
Rinse the corned beef and pat dry with paper towels.
Layout two pieces of aluminum foil slightly overlapping. Place the corned beef in the center of the foil. Coat the corned beef with the spice mixture and drizzle the liquid smoke over the top if using. Flip so the fat cap is at the top and wrap tightly with the foil.
Roll up four large foil balls and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker. (Alternatively, use a rack if your slow cooker has one.) Place the wrapped corned beef on top of the foil balls.
Cook on low for 10 hours. Remove the beef and place it on a baking sheet, cool, and then place it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Reserve the juices from the slow cooker and from inside the foil.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the beef from the foil and place it directly on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Slice thinly and serve with reserved juices.
Toast your bread or sliced rolls. Place your meat on one half of the bread and then cheese, place it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Place the remaining bread on top and serve.

Notes

Ensure to keep the juices saved from the slow cooker for added flavor when serving.
The liquid smoke adds a great depth to the flavor but can be omitted if desired.
