The best thing about St. Patrick’s day isn’t the green beer, although it ranks pretty high. The best thing about St. Patrick’s day is the corned beef! What’s really wonderful is not only how easy it is to make in your slow cooker, but how delicious it is with a minimum of effort.
Corned beef is on sale right now, just in time for the holiday so you have no excuse not to give this easy method for making corned beef a try. Not only will you have the perfect easy to make meal to celebrate the holiday, the leftovers make fantastically delicious sandwiches as well!!!
This recipe couldn’t be any easier and it’s perfect for working moms! In the morning, open the package of corned beef and place the roast in your slow cooker.
Sprinkle the seasonings that come with it onto the roast.
Add enough water to the slow cooker so that the water comes about half way up the sides of the roast.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.
When it’s time for dinner, remove roast from the slow cooker and slice across the grain.
That’s all there is to it! I told you this was the easiest way ever to make corned beef.
We enjoy it with a dab of Dijon mustard and a side of Braised Bavarian Cabbage. Personally I find the boiled cabbage that is traditionally served with corned beef to be flavorless and rubbery. Not a fan. I prefer to add a little German flair to our St. Patrick’s day meal with a side of my mothers recipe, Nuschi’s Bavarian Braised Cabbage.
So how do you celebrate St. Patrick’s day? Just be sure to include this easy to make meal in your holiday celebrations!
Oh did I mention that any leftovers make the most amazing Rueben sandwiches or use the leftovers to make French Dip sandwiches, or with fried potatoes in a corned beef hash…DELISH! I think I need to pick up another brisket while it’s on sale!
