Corned Beef, Cabbage, and Potatoes
St. Patrick's Day is next week. I always look forward to corned beef and cabbage being on sale for a cheap, delicious, and filling meal.
Shopping List:
3 lbs Corned Beef Brisket $2.97
1 head of cabbage $1.00
1 lb red potatoes $.36
(sold in a 5lb bag, BOGO Free, 2 bags for $3.69)
TOTAL: $4.33
I usually cook my corned beef in the Crock Pot. Put corned beef on bottom of Crock Pot. Layer potatoes on top. Cut cabbage in to wedges and put on top of potatoes. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours. You can add in a bay leaf, peppercorns, and/or onions if you want. Cut the cabbage in to wedges
If you are feeling adventurous, make some soda bread to go along with your meal.
Mary’s Irish-American Soda Bread

1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3eggs
1 pint sour cream
1 cup dried currants or raisins
1 tablespoon caraway seeds (optional)
Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease two 8-by-4-inch loaf pans. Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the eggs, sour cream, currants or raisins and caraway seeds, if desired. Mix until just combined. The batter will be very thick. Distribute batter evenly between the two pans.
Bake loaves at 325 F for 1 hour. Best when served hot right out of the oven, with butter.

4 Thoughts From Others:
That soda bread sounds great, I think I'll add it to our menu plan for St. Patrick's day.
We love Corned Beef and Cabbage. I also through in carrots. When you cook in a Crockpot do you add any water? Do you start it all at the same time?
I want to subscribe to your blog, but it looks like you only have a feed for comments.
@ Kaycee -- let me know how it turns out! I've never made that recipe, but am planning on trying it as well!
@ Robin -- I don't put water in. I do throw everything in at once, but you could wait on the carrots. I tend to layer -- meat, then potatoes, stuffing the cabbage around that and then I'd top with carrots.
I'll get the subscribe button back up. I forgot it was gone -- I just changed my layout and thought I had found all my widgets, but I missed that very important one. Thank you!
