About



I simply love a good corned beef dinner, I have been making this particular recipe for at least 20 years now. I cook this corned beef every St. Patrick's day, the whole family just loves it. It takes a little work to prepare it but not so much that you can't still do other things around the house. This is the best tasting corned beef I have ever had in my life, it is so moist, tender, juicy and flavorful. So many recipes are still moist and tender but also flavorless.
