ST. PATRICK’S DAY CROCK POT CORN BEEF & CABBAGE

St. Patrick’s Day is approaching!  It just would not be the same without corn beef and cabbage!!  This dish is not something I cook year round however, it is that special St. Patrick’s Day treat!  It is so juicy and flavorful!  As a bonus I use the crock pot for this dish and since I used the Reynolds Slow Cooker Liner – I am not slaving over an oven nor am I scrubbing pots!  YES, TWO home runs!!
