Crockpot Corned Beef

Yes, I do realize that I'm about 3 1/2 weeks late on making corned beef. But after St. Patrick's Day, our grocery store had corned beef on sale, so I jumped on that offer and decided to make it for dinner two nights ago. Corned beef is something that I usually only eat once a year (on March 17th!), but without fail, I love it every time.

This is probably the simplest recipe to ever be posted on a cooking blog and there really is nothing to it, but it is so good. Actually, anything I make in my crockpot comes out good, so this was certainly no exception. Mr. Z did not grow up eating corned beef on St. Patrick's Day like I did, so I think this was probably only the third time he's eaten it, but he really liked it too. Though, as much as I'd like to say I'll make it again soon, I probably won't. It'll probably be next March 17th before corned beef shows up around here again.

Please forgive me. Corned beef does not photograph well, at all.
