Nothing is better on St. Patrick's Day than a hearty dinner of corned beef and cabbage. It's fattier than most meals I serve, but we like it once a year to celebrate our Irish heritage.
Serve this vegetable rich dinner with Irish soda bread, and you've got a full meal.

- 30 baby carrots
- 15 small red potatoes, quartered
- 2 lb corned beef brisket with spice packet
- 6 C water

Instructions
- Layer onion, carrots, and potatoes in bottom of slow cooker. Place brisket on top of vegetables.
- Sprinkle spice packet on top of brisket. Pour water and broth over brisket.
- Set crockpot to low. Cook 8–10 hours.

We have corned beef and cabbage on a number of Irish holidays, like St. Stephen’s Day (the day after Christmas) and Labour Day (the first Monday in May). You can’t have too much corned beef. 😀
Melr, I’d never heard of St. Stephen’s Day. It’s good to have more reasons to celebrate the joy of corned beef!
