Happy St. Patrick's Day: A Holiday Feast

Good morning, and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Before you start your day of activities and celebration, have you considered what you're going to make for dinner tonight? I've got an easy, slow cooker recipe that you can set and forget until you're ready to dig in. Just a few steps and you're on your way to a meal fit for the Irish!

Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Vegetables
2 carrots, peeled and chopped into bite size pieces
1 small onion, sliced
1 can whole white potatoes, drained
2 lbs corned beef, with spice packet
2 cups beef broth
6 oz beer
1/2 head cabbage, chopped*

Place all vegetables into the bottom of your slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper and add beef broth. Add corned beef and sprinkle with spice packet. Pour 6 oz. beer into the slow cooker and cover. Set to low for 8-9 hours. 
*If using cabbage, cook corned beef on low for 7 1/2 hours. Add the cabbage and cook for an additional hour.

So there you have it - an Irish feast for an Irish kind of day! Enjoy!

Cheers!
