Rinse the Corned beef really well, and pat dry with paper towels.

Place onion in the bottom of the slow cooker and top with Corned beef, fat side up. Sprinkle evenly with seasoning packet. Add water to come 3/4 of the way up the roast. Add garlic cloves and bay leaves to the water. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours.

5 hours into cooking, add the potatoes and carrots.
