[Cook] [Slow Cooker] Corned Beef Dinner

I know it's really late, but this was our St. Patrick's Day's dinner. The recipe came from The Taste of Home Cookbook. I got the cookbook from Borders for only $5 from the bargain bin. Lucky find! I saw corned beef at Costco a week before St. Patrick's Day and almost bought it for about $5/lbs. Then I was doing grocery shopping at Ralphs and saw corned beef on sale for only $0.99/lb. I bought the 3 1/2 lb meat for $4 instead of $20. Another lucky find!  This recipe is really simple, and it turned out great. The corned beef was super tender. The vegetables were full of flavor, especially the cabbage. Dr. P has requested to have this dish every year for St. Patrick's Day.
