It was a first for me!
So yesterday I made my first corn beef and cabbage meal. I have been to my mils house when she made it. I just thought, " Ewwww! Boiled meat!" So I never tasted it. But about 3 weeks ago my dh saw corned beef at the store and said we had to make it. I figured I might as well try it out. I mean I do like a good reuben.So I got a recipe from a friend and cooked it in my slow cooker!
Just popped the meat in with the seasoning packet and poured water over it. Surounded it with potatoes and carrots and had it on meadium high for 4 hours. Then about 2 hours before serving we added the quatered cabbage. It was delicious! the aroma reminded me of dh's late grandmothers house! Dh shared many stories from when he was little while we gobbled it up!
But boy I am rememebering how gassy cabbage can make me today!
