This has truly been one of the most fun food months I have had in a while.  As I have mentioned previously, I'm following Paper & Glam's seasonal living list for March.  I have had a ball with it, and I will be sharing a little more of what I've been doing in a later post, but for today I wanted to tell you about the CrockPot Corned Beef and Cabbage I made. 

To my knowledge I had never tried corned beef.  And even though I may come off as a fearless foodie, sometimes I'm a little skittish to try new things.  But, in the spirit of seasonal living, I dove right into the challenge.  I'm so happy I did because this CrockPot Corned Beef and Cabbage was delicious, not at all like I was expecting, and I can't wait to share the recipe with you.

Let's Get Started!



CrockPot Corned Beef and Cabbage:
*Prep Time: 5 minutes  *Cook Time: 8 hours  *Difficulty: Easy *Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

• 1 3 lb. Corned Beef Brisket w/ seasoning packet
• 1 lb. of Red or New Potatoes, whole   
• 3 Carrots, cut in bite-sized pieces
• 2 Bay Leaves
• 3 Cloves of Garlic, whole
• 1 tsp. Dried Thyme
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 1 tsp. Pepper
• 3c  Beef Broth
• 1 Head of Cabbage, sliced into ribbons

To begin you will need to make sure that you have a Crock Pot. I use the Crock Pot Cook N' Carry 6- quart Oval, Manual, Portable, slow cooker in stainless steel.  It's nothing fancy, but it get's the job done.  

Next place the brisket, fat side up, in the crock pot.

then sprinkle the contents of the seasoning pack the came with the brisket over it.

Now add the carrots, potatoes, and garlic to the crock pot.

For the seasonings, add the bay leaves,

Salt,

Pepper,

And thyme.

Once you have done all of that you can add the beef broth.
You can use water if you like, but the beef broth just really helped to enhance the flavor of the brisket.

Place the lid on your crock pot and turn the heat to LOW.
Let the brisket and vegetables cook for 8 hours.

After the vegetable and brisket have cooked for 7 hours, remove the lid and add the sliced cabbage to the crock pot.  I simply placed my on top.

Return the lid to the crock pot, turn the temperature to HIGH, and let cook for 1 Hour.  

And there you have it!  I delicious Irish meal done completely in one pot!  It was truly one of the most succulent things I have put in my mouth and the cabbage was cooked perfectly.  I thought it would salty and bitter, but that couldn't have been further from the truth.  It was rich and tangy.  Not salty at all really.  I know that you are going to love this recipe, and what a fun way to celebrate the season with your family and friends!  So get in the kitchen and give this Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage a try TONIGHT!  And as always...
