Recipe of the Day!

So in honor of St Patrick's Day and our 2008 trip to Ireland, I decided to post some recipes that I will be making this weekend for my husband!!! Now normally I don't give out recipes that I have never tried, but considering I don't cook much AND these come from reliable sources - I am going to pass them on!!

Today's recipe is Corned Beef and Cabbage! This recipe will be cooked in a large crock pot/slow cooker (whatever you call them) for a long long time....making everything tender & delicious!

Ingredients: (This yields 6 servings)

- 1 medium onion, cut into wedges

- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered

- 1 pound baby carrots

- 3 cups water

- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- 1-2 bay leaves

- 2 tablespoons sugar

- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar

- 1/2 teaspoon pepper

- 1 (3 pound) corned beef brisket, cut in half. With spice packet* (if packet isn't included in purchase as butcher)

- 1 small head of cabbage, cut into wedges

Directions:

Place the onion, potatoes and carrots in 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine water, garlic, bay leaves, sugar, vinegar, pepper and contents of spice packet....pour over vegetables. Top with brisket and cabbage. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat and veggies are tender. Remove bay leaves before serving.

ENJOY!
