Corned Beef & Cabbage
Grandma Cottage used to make this corned beef & cabbage recipe and it just is part of my childhood. Walking into the steamy kitchen and smelling the corned beef and cabbage cooking away. I could never wait for dinner time to come. We would rush to the table when the corned beef was done and it was so wonderful watching the plate be passed over to you with thinly sliced corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, onions and carrots. The little pat of butter melts quickly on the hot vegetables into a little pool on your plate. So good!
Our neighbors called it New England boiled dinner. Whatever you call it it is a delicious easy dish to make for your family. We have included both the stovetop version and a crockpot / slow cooker recipe for you.
