Crock Pot Corned Beef Dinner

Total Time: 12 hrs Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 11 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 lbs corned beef, with included seasoning packets (buy the cheapest cut, the fattier cuts have more flavor)
• water, to cover
• 1 onion, quartered
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 lbs baby red potatoes, whole
• 1 lb baby carrots
• 1 head cabbage, green, quartered
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup gulden's spicy mustard

Recipe

• 1 cover; place first 4 ingredients in crock-pot. do not add vegetables. cook on low 11 hours (get up early :).
• 2 remove meat and transfer liquid to another large pot.
• 3 to the reserved liquid add potatoes.
• 4 cook on medium high stove top for 20 minutes and then add carrots, cook five minutes more, add cabbage and cook an additional 20 minutes.
• 5 meanwhilem, mix glaze ingredients. spread glaze evenly over cooked brisket and bake meat (uncovered) for 30 minutes in oven at 350 degrees.
• 6 this should be done about the time the vegetables are cooked through.
• 7 i serve this with irish soda bread and of course -- beer.
• 8 (note *** #8 corned beef feeds 6 adults and 5 kids, also prepare 5# potatoes, 2 # carrots and 2 heads cabbage and double glaze. it looks like a lot when you have it uncooked but meat shrinks about half once cooked. *** there will be leftovers, but you'll be happy then next day! otherwise if you are making this recipe for 1-4 people, stick to original recipe).
