Ugh, just hearing people talking about it these last couple of days has made me green in a very bad way! I grew up in a house where corned beef and cabbage was a fairly frequent Sunday dinner. I can almost still smell it cooking! Ugh, it was gross and just hung in the air like a thick, pungent fog. Bleck! I don't think I'd ever eat it again, given the option!
I think the sandwiches today will be better, though. We all thought the corned beef was pretty good. I'm planning to grill the bread, serve it with light mayo, swiss cheese, and the corned beef. Here's hoping!
Yeah, my secret to Corned Beef and Cabbage is to put it in the crockpot, go to work for 9 hours, and come home to the smell, where it smells good because I'm starved! :) But yeah, smelling cabbbage cooking all day is definitely not the way to go! :)
For me, I think it was more the corned beef. I mean, I worked at Runza for three years, and I smelled 88 POUNDS of cabbage cooking on a twice-weekly basis with no issues. ;-)
I put my corned beef in the crock pot with nothing but the spice packet (that contained no salt). It was in there for 9 hours). At 5 o'clock I added cabbage and golf ball sized red potatoes. We ate at 6:30. Nate and the kids lived the potatoes. Everyone enjoyed the beef--even though it was super salty! I poked the cabbage.
