Lisa's "Corned" Beef Cabbage


So after looking at Judy and Kathleen's corned beef, I was wondering why their beef looked pinkish. Then when I saw my "corned" beef, I realized why theirs were pink and mine was NOT. They actually got corned beef, whereas I just got beef brisket.
I also did not follow the recipe AT ALL. I did not use dry mustard, thyme, or parsley. I was way too cheap to buy a whole thing of mustard or fresh thyme. But it still turned out pretty good. But it just didn't taste like corned beef because it wasn't corned! I guess I'll have to try this again. I do like this recipe because you just put everything together and forget about it.
Cost breakdown:
Onions $1.00
Carrots $0.17
Cabbage $1.68
Beef about $8
Bread $3.19
Total: $14.04
