Corned Beef, Potatoes & Cabbage
“MOMMY!!! I think you should make this EVERY night!!!”
That’s what my 5yo said to me during tonight’s dinner: Corned Beef, Boiled Potatoes and butter-sauteed Cabbage.
This isn’t a new meal for us in our house. In fact, it’s a long-standing favorite. My kids love how it tastes. I love how EASY it is — especially since I make most of it in my beloved crock pot!
It doesn’t get easier than this:
- cut open the package of corned beef and put the meat in the crock pot
- cover with water
- if there’s a seasoning packet, add the contents to the water (mine did not have this tonight.)
- turn on crock pot (I set mine for 6hrs.)
- 2.5 hours before serving, put quartered potatoes into the water.
- on the stove, saute thinly-shredded cabbage in melted butter (I sprinkle ours with kosher salt and celery seed.)
- serve
This meal vanishes from my kids’ plates! While it’s not exactly an ‘experimental’ recipe for my family, I thought I’d mention it as a possible one to try if you’re feeling adventurous. And, thanks to the crock pot, it’s perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
I’m having fun writing this blog… I hope you’re having fun reading it. 🙂
Happy eatings!
