Ingredients
1 prepared corned beef
1 head of cabbage, sliced into 8 wedges
6-8 Green Giant Fresh Golden Potatoes, washed and cut into pieces
2 cups brown gravy
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by preparing the corned beef brisket. Remove it from its packaging and place it in a large pot. If it comes with a separate seasoning packet, set it aside for now.
2
Cover the corned beef with cold water and bring the pot to a simmer. Be sure to remove any debris that comes to the top of the pot. Once the water stays "clear", it means the debris has been removed.
3
Sprinkle the seasoning packet into the pot and stir to combine. Loosely cover the pot, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook the corned beef for about 3-4 hours or until it is fork-tender.
4
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the washed and cut potatoes to the pot and continue cooking until they are fork-tender.
5
About 10 minutes before the corned beef is finished cooking, add the sliced cabbage wedges to the pot and cook until wilted.
6
Remove the cooked cabbage wedges and potatoes from the pot. If desired, mash the potatoes or serve them as is with a wedge of cabbage and a few slices of cooked corned beef.
7
To make the brown gravy, use the juices and drippings from the corned beef pot. Pour them into a separate saucepan and heat them over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the brown gravy mix until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
8
Serve the corned beef, potatoes, and cabbage with a generous amount of brown gravy on the side, and some soda bread to soak up the delicious flavors. Enjoy!
