I am in no way, shape, or form Irish. My husband is Scottish. But, I have to say that I look forward to corned beef and cabbage every year.
I make it in the crock pot, with everything in. It's so easy and gives me a ton of time to bake my Irish Soda Bread!
(Look for the recipe for the bread in a later post!)
The crock pot will cook for 8 hours total, but with a couple different steps in between.
I did an adorable hand print rainbow craft with the kids...it took me a week to get it done because we did one hand a day so they wouldn't get overwhelmed! It turned out really cute though!
I started the day off for the kids with Lucky Charms and Green Milk. I never buy sugary cereal and I had to keep reminding my son that it's just for today! I love holidays so much more now that I have kids and can see the joy in their little faces!
I ended the night with some homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies! Yum!
(Look for this recipe in a later post, as well!)
For the Corned Beef:
- 3-4 lbs beef brisket
- Spice packet included with brisket
- 1 onion, cut into wedges
- 4-5 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3 cups water
- 2 Tbs sugar
- 2 Tbs white vinegar
- 8 oz beer (or more water or beef broth)
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 1 lb red potatoes, quartered
- 1 head cabbage, cut into wedges
Chop the onion and crush the garlic. Place in the bottom of the crock pot.
Place the brisket on top and then add the seasoning packet.
In a small bow, stir together the water, sugar, vinegar, and beer (or more water or beef broth).
Add to the crock pot.
Cook on LOW for 4 hours.
After 4 hours, add in the carrots, and quartered potatoes.
Cook for another 3 hours.
During the last hour, add the cabbage wedges.
