I love St. Patrick’s Day! It’s one of my favorite holidays when it comes to the food department. My family waits all year just to get a taste of my Slow Cooker Glazed Corned Beef. I find people are often intimidated by corned beef. But, it really doesn’t have to be difficult to make. I have found the following recipe to be tried and true for me year after year. I hope you’ll consider giving it a try this year for St. Patty’s Day!
Ingredients:
Corned Beef:
1 bay leaf
1 medium onion, sliced
2-3 strips of fresh orange peel
3 whole cloves
1 ½ cups water
3-4 pounds corned beef
glaze
Glaze:
2 Tbs. frozen orange juice concentrate (I used orange juice from the carton)
3 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. Dijon-style mustard mix
Mix all glaze ingredients together until smoothed and blended.
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except corned beef and glaze in crock pot.
Add corned beef with fat side up.
Cook on high setting for 5 to 6 hours (I find that if your slow cooker doesn’t cook high enough it can make your corned beef tough to cook on low for too long)

Remove meat from broth.

Insert additional cloves to decorate.
About 30 minutes before serving, place corned beef on heatproof platter.
Prepare Glaze and spoon over corned beef.
Bake in 375° oven for 20 to 30 minutes, basting occasionally with glaze.

I have to say that the breakfast dish sounds wonderful. We don’t eat corn beef here in our house but I would sure try the breakfast!
We are all about the slow cooker each Sunday. With the crazy schedules my kids have it’s perfect. I think we will try this recipe this weekend. Then I can get a few more dishes out of it for the week. Can’t wait to try it.
Well, I grew up in an Irish household and I never liked corned beef…nor does anyone in my family…probably because I never made it when they were growing up?!? I’ll just stick with dying the mashed potatoes green for the day! lol
Thank you again for the nice gesture of featuring me yesterday. I figured out how to grab the button and link it back to you- not bad for an old broad!
Hugs and have a wonderful day-I am off to work until 9:30 pm. Ugh-xxoo Diana
OH HOW YUMMY!, I honestly have been putting off getting my crockpot but it’s like everywhere I’eve looked this past week, I see great resipes where I would totally make a fabulous meal with it!!
I am drooling at the sight of the corned beef meal ^ little sandwich!
Question: Do you buy corned beef at the deli or do they have it at the meat department?….I usually only buy corned beef slices for reuben’s…
Thanks! & Happy St. Patty’s! ^_^

These sound delicious! I love the rainbow picture at the end. I love rainbows. I’m like a little child when I see one!!!
By the way, I really like the way you have pictures of recent posts at the top of your blog. Is that something you do manually or do you know a secret magic tip?

Thanks for these recipes! We love to have a New England boiled dinner with corned beef, potatoes, onions, carrots, cabbage, celery and rutabaga. We experiment with how to prepare it — sometimes in the crock pot, sometimes on the stove. Most recently we boiled the meat for a bit, then put it all in the oven, and it was delicious! (Yes, we already ate our corned beef for the week). And bay leaves really add a great flavor.
The last couple of years, my husband has also made an Irish soda bread. I like it with lots of butter 🙂
Deeee-lish! I’m drooling over these! Thanks for sharing … just might have to try. Sadly, our St. Patty’s Day menu consists of green beer. 🙂 *Becca*
Looks absolutely delicious…..especially that pie! I will need to try that one..Marianne
Everything looks so delicious!I haven’t had corned beef for years.I remember really loving it when my mom would make it for St.Patrick’s Day;maybe I’ll have to attempt it.Thanks for the wonderful comments on my blog- I was so happy that you noticed that we try to keep it cozy and avoid too much formality.That’s exactly what we’re going for.Take care.

Heather, I just bought a corned beef for Friday. This recipe sounds delicious and I am going to give it a try. Thanks
The best part of St. Patrick’s Day is the corned beef — we love it!!! I’ll have to try that reuben pie!
Sounds Yummy! Thanks so much for sharing…I’m sure my hubby would love this!
Oh boy! I love the reuben pie recipe you posted. I have to tell my husband about it, he’ll love it! He’s the cook in the family and is planning to go all out on St. Patrick’s with 4 meat pies, Irish soda bread, Brown bread, Colcannon…the works. I don’t think I’ll be able to stand afterwards.
okay…i hafta say that i’m not a big fan of corned beef…but maybe it’s because i’ve never prepared it the right way…because these recipes look and sound amazing…especially the hash and egg on toast…cuz i’ll eat just about anything on toast…;) thanks for sharing on fridays unfolded my friday friend!
blessings,

I made this recipe for our St. Patricks day party this year. I had 2 – 4lb roasts so chose to put them in my turkey recipe. It was so flavorful and so tender. Everyone raved about how wonderful it tasted. The only bad part was that it all got eaten up that night so we didn’t get any leftovers for sandwiches the next day. I just put another one in the crock pot for our dinner tonight and reubens tomorrow night.
