Submitted by BogeysMom

"Paula Deen prepared her corned beef in a similar fashion - I'm not sure if this is her exact recipe, but the idea is the same. It saves such much time and effort and the taste is terrific."

This recipe inspired us to try the canned corned beef but in the end modified by adding thawed frozen baby carrots and potatoes cut small to the bacon grease saute as well as used all the bacon grease for the saute and not just 2 Tbs, and cooking in two bottles of guinness beer with lots of salt, pepper, and celery seed. With changes turned out well enough but will most definitely do the "real" corned beef from now on. Bacon was a terrific new addition and will continue that for future corned beef recipes!
