EILEEN'S IRISH CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE DINNER

Eileen's Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner image

The vegetables come out so sweet and the meat is tasty and tender. This is the only way I will eat cabbage. I make this every St. Patrick's day. A sure winner. I use a teaball to keep the spices together but you can put them in cheesecloth.
