Shopgirl! (corned beef recipe)

Mrs.LB705 · March 2009

Seriously, this is probably the EASIEST meal that I make, and I absolutely LOVE it!!

Enjoy!

We had ours last night and it was YUM! I put a 5 lb. corned beef (we had company--5 lbs. serves 7ish adults!) in a stock pot covered with water, along with a whole onion, a toe of garlic, a few whole cloves, allspice berries, and peppercorns, and a bay leaf. I bring it to a verrrry slow boil and turn the meat every 45 minutes or so for 2 hours and change. Then I add a potato, a wedge of cabbage, and some carrots per person and let it all simmer for another hour.

Take it out, drain it, pop it in the oven for 10 minutes at 300 to dry it out a bit, and serve.

EASIEST. MEAL. EVER.

Happy St. Pat's!
