Each year for the past 20+ years I have made Corned Beef with Potatoes, Carrots, Cabbage and Irish Soda Bread.
Corned Beef with Potatoes, Carrots, Cabbage and Irish Soda Bread.
I like this brand of Corned Beef. I purchase it from Costco. I follow the instructions on the back of package except I start it on high in the crock pot for a couple of hours or when I see it is boiling. The I turn it down to low for 6 to 8 hours.
Be sure that you cook no more than on Corned Beef Brisket per crock pot. Add peeled and cut carrots as well as washed and halved small red potatoes in the bottom half of the crock pot.
Add the brisket to the crock pot fat side up and sprinkle with seasoning pack.
Add water to the crock pot until the potatoes meat is mostly covered. Cover with lid and cook for 2 hours on high, then reducing the crock pot to low for 6 to 8 hours.
Cut at and angle starting at one corner. This will make for a tender cut of meat.
About an hour before dinner make and bake the Irish Soda Bread. I used to make it from scratch until I found Katie Reilly's Irish Soda Bread Mix.
I have never been really keen on cooking my cabbage with the corned beef. I find that it has a mushy texture. I like my cabbage a little more firm than that. The last thing I do, about 20 minutes before dinner is ready to be served, is cut up the cabbage add to skillet with melted butter and adding a little of the water from the crock pot and steam for a few minutes.
Serve up the feast and enjoy.
Corned Beef Hash
The day after I take the left over corned beef and potatoes and make a Corned Beef Hash. I start by trimming the fat off the left over meat and cutting up the meat and potatoes/
Spray pan with Olive Oil and melt with 2 tablespoons of butter.
Add to frying pan and cook until the potatoes start to brown.
Turn with a spatula as the potatoes on the bottom start to brown.
Almost done!
M'm M'm Good!
