New England Boiled Dinner

Carol Ann #3's Note:

This came from a pillsbury cook book I got when I moved into my first place. I use to make it once or twice a year, but it has become a Sunday favorite during the winter months in my home. My husband and kids just love it !! TIP : If corned beef is packaged with a spice packet; omit cloves and bay leaf.
