Corned Beef and Cabbage

Got this recipe from my Dad.  One of his favorite meals, and though it took me quite a while to try this because of the color of the meat... I am glad I finally did!  The flavor and tenderness is so delicious!  It is now a favorite of mine!

Corned Beef

3 LB corned beef brisket with spice packet

2 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces

2 med onions, chopped

1 small head green cabbage, cored, roughly chopped

2 cups apple juice

1 cup water

Directions

Put the carrots and onions on the bottom of the slow cooker, and put the corned beef on top.  Arrange the chopped cabbage around the beef. Add the apple juice and 1 cup of water along with the contents of the spiced packet.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours until the beef is tender.  

Enjoy!

16 oz. package of baby carrots

1 onion chopped

2 cloves garlic

3 lb. bonless pork loin roast, trim fat

1/4 cup dijon or yellow mustard, depending on preference

1 tsp tyme

1 tsp italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 1/2 cups beef broth

Layer baby reds on bottom edge of crock pot.

Layer baby carrots on top on potatoes.

Layer chopped onions in center of potatoes and carrots at the bottom of the dish.

Mix in the garlic with the onions.

Mix mustard and spices and coat the roast with the mixture.

Put the roast in center of the dish and pour over the beef broth.

Cook for approx. 6 hours flipping the roast once.

Check about 4 hours... the meat is done when it shreds easily.
