Judy's Corned Beef and Cabbage

The Mister asked "Since when did we become Irish?" I replied, "Since I joined the Best Supper Club!" :p I cooked the corned beef and cabbage exactly as the recipe instructed to do so and used the entire seasoning pack that it came with. Like Kathleen, I also made Pioneer Woman's crash hot potatoes. In addition, I made Guinness Brownies for dessert and the Mister had a cold Guinness with his meal. The verdict, I know it's suppose to be salty, but the meal was way too salty for my liking (and I like salty!) I think to even out the saltiness, you need bread or drink a lot of Guinness to wash it down. When I asked my toughest critic, he replied "It tastes like Irish pub food." Meh, we both agreed the corned beef and cabbage was something we would have once a year. However, the crash hot potatoes was a HUGE hit. So I definitely plan on cooking that again when we have steak. The Guinness brownies were very rich and were hardly sweet at all. I will probably stick to regular brownies! Here is our St. Patty's Day Feast:

(Like Lisa, I don't have food photog skills like Kathleen!) With the leftover corned beef, I will be making reuben sandwiches as well :)
