Corned Beef... Without Cabbage!

I didn't make the Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage myself. Those of us who stay up until 5 a.m. don't wake up in time to start the slow cooker! Credit for this goes to my boyfriend :)

Verdict: good!

We've never worked with corned beef before. I actually had to ask if it was even available at the grocery store, that's how clueless I am. Our store had 2 different kinds, one of which cost about half of the other. Because we didn't know what we were working with, we chose the more expensive brand. That just seemed safer. We also weren't sure what kind of ale to use. We also skipped the cabbage part altogether. We just didn't want cabbage that night :)

Even with those issues, the end result was nice. My boyfriend said he was surprised by how tender the meat was. I've found all meat cooked in the slow cooker turns out like that. That's one of the things I love about slow cookers!

On the side, we had egg noodles. Yes, we're weird :)
