And now I regret that decision.<br /><br />Maybe there'll be a discount on all the unsold corned beef and I can have it this weekend. :-)<br /><br />PearlPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261369905176088917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-6714580783722243462014-03-17T19:59:47.643-07:002014-03-17T19:59:47.643-07:00"Conned" beef has been in the slow cooke..."Conned" beef has been in the slow cooker since 8 this morning.

And with my last name, I don't need to wear no stinkin' green, either. <br />However, I do have a weakness for corned beef. For years I did the standard simmer on stovetop for hours, then I tried a slow-baking in a plastic bag. The flavor is more intense, and after 5 hours in a 250 degree over, it almost falls apart. <br />The oldest daughter, a repressed serial killer, cooks hers in Guiness, it's pretty good too.
