Corned Beef & Cabbage

Corned Beef & Cabbage

Why is it that we only celebrate with corned beef and cabbage around St. Patrick’s Day? It’s a ridiculously easy dinner and if you like recreating leftovers, this is great for Reuben Sandwiches and Corned Beef Hash.

Ingredients

1 corned beef brisket (approximately 3 lbs)

4 Tbsp of dijon mustard

Seasoning Packet (inside the brisket packaging)

8 carrots, peeled and sliced

1- 3 lb bag of red potatoes, washed and chopped

1-12 oz bottle of Guinness Beer

1 head of green cabbage, quartered

Rinse corned beef brisket and pat dry.  Rub all over with dijon mustard.  Open seasoning packet and spread over entire surface.

In a slow cooker, place carrots and potatoes at the bottom.  Rest brisket on top.  Pour Guinness Beer.  Arrange quartered cabbage on top and cover.  Cook on low for 6 hours.

(If you do not use a slow cooker and want to make this on the stove, follow same directions and place in a large stock pot.  Add 1 cup of water and cover.  Simmer over low heat for 2-3 hours, checking frequently to make sure there is always liquid at the bottom of the pot)
