St. Patty's Day Slow-Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage

3/16/2014

It's Saint Patty's Day tomorrow and there is no reason you shouldn't be able to treat your family to a delicious meal on the holidays.  With careful planning, or stowing away a few coins, you can purchase this treat for less than $15.  I know that can be a lot of dineros, but we find money for other important things.  And believe it or not, this is an important cultural tradition to ingrain if your family celebrates.

I bought my red potatoes at Aldi for 99 cents.  Purchased there, too, was a head of cabbage for 79 cents and a bag of onions for .99.   Baby carrots were on sale for .49.  The cheapest corned beef right now in our area is $3.79 at Publix.   Yes, with a little preplanning you can make this meal for less than expected.  

For added fun, don't forget to make Irish Soda Bread on the side.

1 small bag baby carrots
1 (2 - 3 pd.) Corned Beef Brisket 
1 large onion quartered
8-10 baby red potatoes, quartered and unpeeled
1 small head of cabbage sliced into 8 quarters
1 seasoning packet
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups water

Place brisket in slow cooker.  Top with carrots, potatoes, and onions.  Lay cabbage over top and sprinkle with seasoning packet, salt, and pepper.  Cook on low 8 hours.
