Corned Beef

So the same girl, MaryRuth also posted on how to make Corned Beef and Cabbage. I've been trying to find some good directions for it for a while. My mom just tells me it's simple. I know, but what do I do? So MaryRuth wrote it down. I would kiss her if I could. I wonder if she's Irish?

3 pounds corned beef brisket with spice packet
10 small red potatoes
5 carrots, peeled and julienned
1 large head cabbage, cut into small wedges

Place corned beef in large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Add the spice packet that came with the corned beef. Cover pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer approximately 50 minutes per pound or until tender. 2. Add whole potatoes and carrots, and cook until the vegetables are almost tender. Add cabbage and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove meat and let rest 15 minutes. 3. Place vegetables in a bowl and cover. Add as much broth (cooking liquid reserved in the Dutch oven or large pot) as you want. Slice meat across the grain.

My notes:
• Add a can of beef broth for extra flavor

• Put the beef in the crock pot, cover with water and cook on high for 6 hours… when the meat is done and its time to cook the vegetables dump all the liquid and meat from the crock pot in to a pan on the stove… bring to a boil and then dump in the potatoes and carrots and cook for ten minutes and then add the cabbage and cook for another 10 minutes… adjust as needed.
