This is dinner one of three meals that will come from this one piece of meat! How very Irish! We make a crock pot corned beef with lots of vegetables and the slow cooking creates a wonderful broth, which we save. It freezes beautifully and in a few weeks will make an incredible corned beef broth soup. Later this week, we'll use the leftover meat to make corned beef hash. Yum, yum! All three recipes are included in the comments from today's post. Even though we're not Irish, we love this holiday and the amazing food we get to make to celebrate. Doing it in the crockpot just makes the preparation easier and the celebrating comes earlier in the evening - important when you have a 21 month old and it's Monday :)

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Carrots, potatoes, onions, cabbage
Time: 20 minutes prep, 8-10 hours cooking (unattended), 15 minutes to cook the cabbage last minute (mostly unattended)
Make ahead: You bet your leprechaun.

Reaction
J: "Maybe we are Irish."
M: "Faith and begorrah!"
