St. Patty's Corned Beef and Cabbage

This is one of those delicious meals that you get major bang for your buck.  It is a super easy meal that takes minimal effort and you get a flavorful delicious mess at the end!  You literally have to buy three things: Brined corned beef, potatoes, and one head of cabbage.  If you love cooked carrots you can throw those in too.

    I love the Raley's corned beef.   I have tried the Trader Joe's but we gave it a C-.  I took a picture of the package in case you want to grab the exact one.  I know it is kind of cheating to buy the meat pre-brined, but it is SOOO much better that way! 
    Put the meet in your slow cooker and shove the potatoes around the side.  If it includes seasoning sprinkle this on top of everything.  Then add enough water to submerge the ingredients.  You can cook this on high for about 8 hours or low for 4.  I usually put it in before work and leave with the peace of mind that dinner is already cooked!

My crock put doesn't have enough room to cook everything.  So when I get home I take out the meat and potatoes, put them on a platter and keep them warm in the oven.  Cut one head of cabbage into quarters and trim a bit of the bottom off.  I then cook the cabbage in the water that is left for 1 hour on high.  This lets all the yummy flavors of the brine soak into the cabbage.  
   When this is almost done you can slice the meat.  Make sure togo against the grain of the meat.  Add the cabbage to the platter, and walk out to the dining room table like you slaved away all day! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
