Beef with Mustard Sauce
Do you have a crockpot that you love? I didn't until about 2 years ago when my mother moved into our home. Previous crockpots brought me frustrations and annoyances with every use!! They didn't seal or the handle melted...on the lid!! Or the pot cracked and leaked! Ugh! I've been through three of them. How many times have you heard, "they just don't make them like they use too." Welp, now you get to hear it again. 🤣 My mother always used this Rival Crockpot because it was reliable and boy, has this beauty done it's job! I'm in love with the nostalgic look of the retro crockpot and now, I get to use it too. I gladly kicked out my crappy crockpots to save space. Good riddance!
Not only do we love our crockpot, we love our cornbeef recipe! I grew up on this simple recipe and it's by far still my favorite. I've actually never seen anyone else do it this way either! My mother explained to me she picked it up when she was going to college at Jacksonville State University from a roommate and she did it that way ever since too.
Pick up a Flat Cut Corned Beef Brisket with a spice pack.
Open the package and gently pour meat and liquids into the crockpot, FAT SIDE UP. Sprinkle the spice packet evenly across the top.
In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup yellow mustard and 1/2 cup brown sugar and stir until it makes a sauce.
Pour on top of Corned Beef and spices.
Cover with the lid and cook on high for 1 hour. Set your timer to remind you. 😉 After one hour, cook on low for approx 6-8 hours or until meat just falls apart.
On occasion, I do come across a cut that's just terrible. It can be tough, dry or super salty. I'm sorry but it's a lost cause and it's not your fault. There isn't anything you can look for while shopping. It sucks when this happens.
We typically make several meals from cornbeef so here are some ideas:
-Corned Beef with German Potato Salad and Kraut
-Fried Irish Trinity Potato Balls with Milk Braised Cabbage and a side of Corned Beef.
-Ruebens
-Corned Beef and Hash
-Corned Beef Fritters with Spicy Thousand Island Dip
-Creamy Corned Beef Soup
-Corned Beef Egg Rolls
