Irish-American Corned Beef And Cabbage Recipe

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
pinch of cloves
2 – 3 lb. corned beef brisket with spice packet
2 yellow onions, sliced
2 quarts water
1 cup apple juice
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 carrots, peeled and cut into thirds
1 small green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges (leave a section of the core so the wedges will hold their shape)

Combine the sugar, zest and mustard in a small dish and set aside. Set the brisket into a large dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot, and add the spice packet. Pour in the water and add the onions, apple juice, bay, and pepper. Bring the mixture just to a boil, turn the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 – 2 1/2 hours, until the meat is fork tender.

When brisket is almost tender, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a roasting pan with olive oil (we like large cake pans for roasting). Carefully remove the brisket from the water and set into the roasting pan. Place brisket into the oven and roast for 15 – 20 minutes, until the edges have lightly browned. Remove from oven and let meat rest for 5 minutes. Then carve into thin slices.

Meanwhile, add carrots to the brisket's cooking water, cover, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Add the cabbage, and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes.

Serve the corned beef slices with a generous helping of vegetables and just a drizzle of the cooking liquid.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Spicy Corned Beef

Spicy Corned Beef

Corned Beef was a way to create a meal that was fast delicious and filling. At the time corned beef was very cost effective and an ideal non perishable item to have in your pantry. Corned beef can be done so many different ways but today I will give you the basic way it is usually prepared. Jamaicans also refer to this as bully beef. Ingredients

• 1 can 12 oz corned beef (My favorite brand is Grace)
• 1 garlic clove or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ of a medium onion or 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ of a sweet pepper (green pepper)
• 1 small tomato
• ½ scotch bonnet pepper (without seed)
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. Cut up onions, sweet pepper and tomato. Crush the garlic.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
3. Add onions, sweet pepper, tomato and garlic to hot oil, stirring frequently. (if using onion and garlic powder, add after corned beef in placed into pan)
4. Add corned beef, black pepper, scotch bonnet, and butter, stir frequently to mix in ingredients
5. Leave on medium heat for approximately 2 minutes until corned beef is heated through (careful not to dry it out).

Prep time: 3 mins Cook time: 5 mins Total time: 8 mins Notes Suggested serving with white rice. (Picture shows white rice with corn, garnished with a broccoli slaw)

As a child I grew up eating this dish as a quick meal at home. Another ingredient which is used regularly but was not added to my recipe is Ketchup. Depending on your liking you can add this to the corn beef for both taste and added moisture. Corn beef can be found for purchase in your local gracery store such as Publix, Aldi, Albertson, Safeway, K-Mart Super Center, Super Target and Walmart stores.

Sometimes I find that the best recipes are the old ones. So I have pulled a collection of casserole recipes from my old-fashion recipe collection. These old time recipes are tasty, easy, and economical. And in today's economic climate, most of our families are looking for economical ways to put meals on the table. Why not add these dishes to your family's table: Gourmet Potatoes with Sausage, Hamburger-Zucchini Casserole, or Cornbread Pie.

GOURMET POTATOES WITH SAUSAGE
6 medium potatoes
1/4 cup butter + 2 tbsp
1 1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 lb smoked sausage
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
Place the potatoes, unpeeled, in a large saucepan; cover with water and cook until fork tender. Drain water and allow potatoes to cool. Peel the potatoes and shred coarsely. Over low heat, in another saucepan, combine the cheese and the 1/4 cup butter and stir until almost melted. Remove from the heat and blend in the sour cream, onion, salt and pepper. Fold in the potatoes. Turn the mixture into the casserole dish. Dot the potato mixture with the 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle with the paprika.
Slice the sausage into about 1/2-inch pieces and fry to remove the grease and drain on paper towels. Place over the top of the casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Leave casserole uncovered.

HAMBURGER ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE
1 lb hamburger
1 medium onion
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 cup water
1 small zucchini, chopped

Brown hamburger and onion; drain. Add tomatoes, water, salt, pepper, and garlic or chili powder if using; mix together well. Stir in the zucchini. Cook on low for about a half hour or until the liquid is absorbed.
Pour the mixture into a buttered casserole dish. Mix the bread crumbs with the butter and sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Brown under the broiler for about 6 minutes or until golden brown but be careful not to burn.

CORNBREAD PIE
Combine in a skillet:
1 lb hamburger
1 large onion, chopped
Brown well and add:
1 can tomato soup (10 1/2-oz)
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp black pepper

CORNBREAD TOPPING:
Stir together:

1 Tbs. sugar
1 Tbs. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
ADD:
