Crock Pot Corned Beef

4 lbs corned beef, with included seasoning packets (buy the cheapest cut, the fattier cuts have more flavor)
water, to cover
1 onion, quartered
2 bay leaves
2 minced garlic cloves
2 lbs baby red potatoes, whole
1 lb baby carrot
1 head cabbage, green, quartered
GLAZE
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup spicy mustard

Cover; Place first 4 ingredients in crock-pot. DO NOT add vegetables. Cook on LOW 11 hours
Remove meat and transfer liquid to another large pot.
To the reserved liquid add potatoes.
Cook on medium high stove top for 20 minutes and then add carrots, cook five minutes more, add cabbage and cook an additional 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix glaze ingredients. Spread glaze evenly over cooked brisket and bake meat (uncovered) for 30 minutes in oven at 350 degrees.
This should be done about the time the vegetables are cooked through.
