St. Patty's Day Favorite!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, tonight's menu consisted of:

Corned beef
Cabbage
Mashed potatoes
Guiness

1 corned beef, about 3-5 pounds
1/2 head of green cabbage, sliced into shred pieces

Place corned beef in slow cooker, and cover with cabbage.  Fill about 1/2 -3/4 of pot with water and add seasoning packet.  If there is no seasoning packet add 2 Tablespoons of pickling spices.  Cook on low for 8 hours, until beef shreds and cabbage is soft but still hold shape, not mushy. 

Boil potatoes until soft, we boiled with the skin on.  Drain and mashed with fork or masher.  Add fat free milk and butter to moisten.  Keep mashing with spoon or fork.

Serve piece of corned beef, topped with cabbage, and drizzle broth on mashed potatotes.

The Guiness was tasty with the new CO2 cartridges that help keep the foam and flavor.

Top O' the Mornin' to ya!
