I signed up for an account here just so I could comment on this! I was having my parents and family over for dinner and wanted to do something different, so I thought an Irish theme...I picked this recipe because of all the good reviews. I was very worried about the cabbage stinking up the house, but my husband encourage me to go for it anyway. Then I told my mom and dad what I was making and they were like "oh no!!" so I was terrified! Anyway I did it, and it turned out awesome. Everybody liked it - most guests had seconds, and the cabbage didn't even stink anything up at all. Hooray!

Wholy cow this is good!! I have made corned beef many times but really enjoyed this recipe. I almost messed it up though. I started it at 5:30 a.m.(got up early like recipe said). At 9:30 got to thinking about it as it was smelling so good. I remembered the recipe saying something about garlic, onion, bayleaves. In my 5:30 daze and confusion I did not add it to the crockpot, it is not listed in the directions to add those ingredients so I forgot about them. I did add them at 9:30 & it still worked out. I cooked for 9 hrs as it was getting a little dry. I also used regular red potato chunks and regular carrots. I passed melted butter to top the veggies. Made 1/2 the glaze just for my meat and thought it tasted icky so I only put a spoonful on. Oh was I wrong. Once cooked the glaze ROCKS! Thanks Shabby!

Oh my...this was the best St. Patty's meal we have had in many Irish moons. The corned beef was so tender....you could cut it with the blink of an eye!!! That glaze....we give it 10 stars. You can bet your Irish buttt....we won't wait till St' Patty's day to have this spectacular meal again. Thanks Shabby for a keeper.

I'm not a fan of corned beef, but this sounded interesting - like it actually had some flavor. It was fabulous - fork-tender and delicious! Thank you for saving me from the typical tasteless boiled dinner. One note...put foil in the pan when you bake it at the end. The extra glaze turns to cement!

This is the best corned beef dinner I've ever made. I usually make the corned beef in the crock pot because it comes so tender. However, when I cook the potatoes and carrots with it, they tend to loose their taste. With this recipe, you cook the corned beef without veggies and afterwards use the juice to cook the potatoes, carrots and cabbage. They all picked up the taste of the corned beef without loosing their own taste. The glaze is the best part — It made the meat near the glaze taste almost like spare ribs, but you can still taste that corned beef taste. The meat was sooo juicy too. Thanks for sharing!!

No need to get up early. Put your crock pot on a timer. Place beef in pot and top with ice cubes before you go to bed.

my only [problem with this recipe is that is was a little confusing. I put everything into the crock pot, and then read that you don't add the vegetables. I think you put in the meat, bay leaves, spice packet, onion and garlic and ccok for 11 hours. If you do that, THEN the directions make sence. Even though I put in everything at once, it was WONDERFUL! my family faught over the meat.
