3 ways to cook a tasty corned beef brisket easily
corned beef, corned beef brisket, how to cook corned beef brisket... This blog post will tell you how to cook the easiest and tastiest corned beef brisket ever...
This corned beef looks like it took alot of work, but truthfully it didn't, It takes a lot of time, but it doesn't take much effort and it looks and tastes like you slaved all day. This is a get it started and let it do it's thing kind of recipe. Now that is the kind of meat main dish recipe I love..
I wish I could afford corned beef brisket more often, because it is one of my favorites, but then again, maybe its one of my favorites because it is a rare treat and I don't get to enjoy a good ol' corned beef brisket as often as I would like, that is for dang sure...
Corned beef brisket might seem complicated, it sure looks delicious enough to be complicated, but it's really not. Corned beef requires a long cooking time, but that cooking time is just that, cooking time, nothing required from you.
Corned beef is probably the easiest meat to cook because it has already been soaking in a brine and comes with a seasoning package and aside from rubbing that seasoning packet into the meats fatty area there is no seasoning required.
I'm going to tell you three different ways to cook a corned beef brisket and you can take your pick. All three are as easy as it gets if you have the time, which is about 4 hours.. Corned beef is soaked in a salt brine before packaging so it does not require any extra salt or spices except the included seasoning packet.
So with all that said her are three easy peasy 1 ingredient corned beef brisket recipes I wanted to share with you.
1. crock pot - its simple, open your seasoned corned beef brisket, put it in the crock pot rub the seasoning packet into the fatty side, place it into the crock pot fat side up and set it to cook for 5 or 6 hours
2. Oven with foil wrapped tightly around the meat rub seasoning packet into fat then wrap the meat tightly in tinfoil and place in a casserole dish or cookie sheet fat side up with raised edges just in case of drips and let it cook for 3 to 4 hours in a 350 degree
3. Oven with foil wrapped tightly around the dish as above rub seasoning packet into fat of meat place in greased casserole dish, fat side up, and bake in oven 3 to 4 hours at 350 degrees, uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes to char fat
My favorite method is to wrap the meat itself tightly in tin foil because I believe it keeps the juices contained in a more contained space nearer the meat and makes for better flavor. But that is just my opinion, and not the method I would advise someone who isn't familiar with corned beef brisket to use..
**note** The seasoning package is optional but I use it and sometimes add a little extra black pepper.
The key to corned beef is a long and slow cooking time... When you cook a corned beef brisket you want to cook it so long that it is fork tender, which means you can take 2 forks and shred the corned beef easily with minimal resistance from connective tissues. A corned beef should pull apart with two forks, in the same way as shredded chicken or roast when it is done, If you check your corned beef and it cannot be pulled apart with 2 forks to a shredded consistency then it is not done enough and you need to stick it back in the oven for an addition 30 to 45 minutes, at bare minimum a corned beef brisket should cook 3 hours, more if not for tender...
If you are new to cooking corned beef brisket they I would recommend either the slow cooker method, or the oven recipe with the foil around the dish so that you can remove foil to check for doneness, the tightly wrapped meat method is probably more suited to those familiar with corned beef brisket and its cooking times.
That is the ease and beauty of corned beef brisket... if its not falling apart when you pull t it with two forks cook it longer.. No genius required in that...
when corned beef is done let sit for at least 10 minutes and then shred with 2 forks. I leave fat in the meat because I love the seasonings on the fat from the seasoning packet and they can pick out the fat if they don't want to eat it.It's not so fatty that picking out their own fat has ever been an issue, or maybe they don't complain because corned beef is a rarity around here and they are just glad to have it even with the fat.. But trust me if you can get those little spice crumbs into the bites of actual meat you are in for an even greater treat, Those little bursts of flavor are just WOW!!!!
In any case if you want a main dish meat that requires almost nothing from you, and looks like it was a lot of effort, corned beef is the ticket... Like I said corned beef brisket takes time to cook, but minimal effort, Just put it in your oven or crock pot and forget about it.. Yes, it is just that easy to cook a corned beef brisket.
I will post the cabbage and pinto beans recipes later, but I thought corned beef was so amazing that it deserved its own post...
If you try it let me know your results in comments...
The pinto beans, corned bread, and cabbage recipes will be posted later but I thought corned beef is such an impressive main dish meat that it deserved its own individual post..
corned beef and turkey Porcupine meatloaf and potatoes
What is a meatloaf, but a loaf of meat with things in it right? Well this one is chock full of things. Good things, that made for a yummy dinner tonight. Cooking for a big family, is 1 part knowing how to cook, 1 part optical illusion, and 1 part being creative with what you found on sale this week, or whats about to go bad from last week. If you can master mixing the three and making something they will eat, then my friend you an conquer the world.
We have eat a lot of potatoes this week because they were on sale last week, I just finished up the last of the "2 five pound bags for $5.00" potatoes tonight.
I love this recipe because its one dish, the meat and potatoes are all cooked in the same dish in the oven. I love oven recipes in general because they don't require you to stand over them. But this is pretty simple.
The optical illusion part of cooking is making less look like more. Take meatballs, and meatloaf, meatloaf stretches farther than meatballs, at least here they do, these folks see a dish of meatballs and they get way more of the bite size balls than if its meatloaf shaped and they get a slice but for whatever reason the meatloaf looks bigger, fills a bigger space on the plate and makes them think they are getting more when they are actually taking a smaller serving. try it sometime. Cook meatballs one time, and meatloaf the next time and see which stretches farther. I'm not sure exactly why it works the way it works but it just does.
Speaking of meatballs, I came up with this recipe after reading a porcupine meatball recipe. I had to get creative with it because the grocery store is 25 minutes away and there is no air conditioner in the car and we are still suffering the sweltering heat of summer here. So, we had to use what dollar general had to offer when I discovered that I only had one package of ground turkey and not 2 like I thought I had. Dollar General is a short 10 minutes down the road and even me with one good eye can drive there if need be.
So tonight, corned beef ground turkey porcupine meatloaf became a thing, and it was a good thing. The critics eat it up. I served it with the potatoes and mustard greens and biscuits. Traci even made a cherry pie complete with home made crust to go with it.
Before we get to the recipe lets talk meat to fat ratio. Any good meatloaf needs a good fatty meat, always but especially when cooking potatoes, and in the case rice in with it. the dry ingredients, the bread crumbs, the rice, the french fried onions, and the potatoes around the edges all need your loaf to have a good amount of juice or you will have a dry meatloaf. I added softened butter to this mixture.
Ok, with that said, lets get to the recipe.
corned beef turkey porcupine meatloaf
(the meatloaf)
1 lb ground turkey
1 can corned beef
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup french fried onions crushes
1/3 cup uncooked rice
garlic powder to taste
salt to taste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1/2 stick softened butter
3 tbsp chicken broth
(the sauce)
1 can Campbell's tomato soup
1 package ranch dressing powder
1/2 stick melted butter
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
salt to taste
2/3 cup chicken broth
(potatoes)
4 cups potatoes diced
For meatloaf mix all ingredients well and shape into a loaf in center of lightly greased large casserole dish
Cut potatoes and spread evenly around the edges of your meatloaf
Mix all sauce ingredients and pour over potatoes and on top of meatloaf this is your sauce and your glaze
cover tightly with tin foil and cook in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour 15 minutes then uncover and cook an addition 20 minutes let set for 10 minutes before serving.
When salting keep in mind that the corned beef, and the ranch powder, and the Worcestershire sauce all already have a good bit of salt in them so you wont need as much salt as you might with other meatloaf recipes.
