      Isn’t it the easiest Patti! I am glad you make it too. I have done colcannon potatoes just once. My family likes EVERYTHING to be the plain old fall back and just isn’t into any testing of different recipes. I have to take them to events if I want to make them exciting. Enjoy your week.

      Most definitely Bettye. The alcohol boils off but the flavor definitely remains. If you don;t like the taste then by all means the flavor is not necessary. Thanks for asking! Enjoy your week!

      I got this from the newspaper. “Corned beef starts out as beef brisket and is brine-cured first. The brine-cure is what makes it corned beef and that curing process is where it gets its color from. At stores, beef brisket will be labeled beef brisket and have a good amount of fat on it. Typically, it’s a pretty big piece of meat.Aug 14, 2017” the flavor would be different but it will still work. I would check it at 7 hours, but bades on rolled roast I have slow cooked, it will probably take the full 8. Just watch the fluid doesn’t boil away to much and you will be fine. Enjoy!

      Yes. The juices get to marinate slowly. And the cooker makes the cabbage and corned beef just fall apart. It isn’t as high or as dry a heat as an oven. Enjoy your week.

    I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t realise corned beef is something you can make at home. I thought it just came in a tin (can) ! This looks really tasty and not at all like the tinned stuff !

      LOL. I never saw it in a can! It is in a plastic bag, like a turkey or a ham. In the meat area. But not frozen. It is really good. The only thing in a can I eat is tuna. Not even the chunked chicken, or fish things. I would rather skip meat if I had to eat it that way. I agree with you.

    Hi <arilyn

    Your recipe is the same as what I use, but I usually simmer it all in a large pot. I'm going to try making this in my crockpot this year and see if I like it better. Going to check your soda bread recipe next–thanks!

      I used to cook in a stock pot. But I found the slow cooker makes the corned beef juicier and the steam it causes traps the flavors too. I also use a liner and that may help as well as with cleanup. Let me know what you think. The soda bread was good, but I burned it a bit. The raisins added a bit of flavor. I used about half as much but next time I will use the entire amount. Enjoy!! I am curious to see your comparison. Hugs.

      No. It is like adding the veggies for stew. If you put them in the bottom they get the juices from the meat, but not the steam. They get so tender you can cut them with your fork. You need to try it! The beer is good, too!
