Well it is not St. Patrick's day without corn beef here at Casa Linda in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My family loves a traditional St. Patrick's day meal of corn beef and cabbage with roasted red potatoes. Simple and easy recipes are something I cherish. Because I am a busy working mother, I enjoy easy and simple recipes. My family and I love, love, love great food. I have gotten to the point where I want great food but don't want to take a lot of time to make delicious food. This is a recipe for an awesome meal, that perfectly fits the bill. Great food with little preparation. "Crock Pot Corn Beef" is as easy as one, two . . . three! I usually purchase my corn beef prepackaged. The thing I don't like is the prepackage corn beef is very high in sodium. That is why I like cooking it in the slow cooker for eight hours. It gives it time to release the salt used in the brinning process. I usually buy two packages, because I have growing kids and I like the left over corn beef for sandwiches or corn beef hash. You will enjoy this recipe and the left over suggestions . . . they are awesome. Until next week - Bon Appetit, Cecelia

Notes
- I suggest using a smaller red potato. You can substitute fingerling potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes. Smaller potatoes are better when serving them with the skin on. You can use larger potatoes, adjust boiling time and test to make sure they are cooked. Poke potatoes with a steak knife. If they are cooked the knife with easily pierce the potato. Adjust cooking time as needed.
