Leftover corned beef makes great sandwiches--Rueben's are good.

Wonderful flavor, turned out nice and tender. I cooked mine on low for 6 hours. I then removed the liquid into a pot on the stove, added the carrots and potatoes and boiled for 30 minutes and then the cabbage for the last 10. Everyone enjoyed our St. Pat's day feast in August.

I made this tonight for our St. Patrick's Day dinner and it was delicious!! Lots of flavor and the corned beef was very tender (I did buy a lower sodium meat.) My family loved it!! Will definitely be making this again! Thank you for a great recipe!
