St. Patrick's Day the Right Way. For real home made brined corned beef, you need to get started soon, as you need around two weeks for the brining process.
 St. Patrick's Day is one of our favorite holidays here in Chicago, and not just because the river is dyed green. With our long history in the meat industry, we love any holiday that traditionally features a giant piece of slowly marinated beef. Sure, you can get pre-made or quick-cooking corned beef, but for the real thing, you need to start with good beef and let it brine until it's perfectly flavored and meltingly tender. Our brine recipe will give you the best corned beef, whether you eat it straight, slice it into Reubens, or make it into hash.

I was sooooooo impressed with this recipe. EASY too. Most Excellent flavor and the sauce was so tasty my husband was looking for more. I may have to double the sauce part next time just for him. I was a little Freaked out by the Fuax - tay - toes, but I followed the recipe to the letter and I was so surprised at just how good they where. I am going to try them on my kids when they come home. When I took off the processor cover they even smelled like potatoes. OMG ..The texture I had to get used too, the taste is amazing. Both of these are keeper recipes for sure I will be making this one again. I made Tarter tots just in case my husband did not like the Fuax -tay- toes. He LOVED THEM.... It took me less than 30 minutes to make and serve the entire meal. Thank you Lena imaluckydog
Surprise! Even my mom, who is the epitome of Southern Belle, pronounced them delicious. I nearly fainted from shock.
I can't wait to share a soup I just discovered! Slurping good! I'll try to type it up tomorrow before I leave for the weekend.
I control the salt, sugar and fats in my recipes. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for all the quick and easy recipes. imaluckydog kathy
