Corned Beef Cabbage

Today's meal just happens to be one of my son's all-time favorite meal

I'm gonna cook up a corned beef and cabbage. I want you to look what sweet Michael did for me

Who said he was good for nothing? He put the bacon on for me

He's a hungry man, I think, don't you? This dish is gonna be so quick and so simple for us

We've got our bacon cooked, thanks to Michael, And we're gonna quickly just cut up our cabbage

just like this. I'm gonna cut it again. I'm gonna cut it in quarters

and then work from the quarters. I'm gonna have supper ready here in no time

It's a very inexpensive meal as well. All right, we got our cabbage chopped up

and that was easy enough. I've got my grease from my bacon

But I like two different flavors in my cabbage. So in goes some butter

I'm just going to dump that cabbage right in there like that. This is just real, real easy this way, and it's a lot quicker

Now I'm going to add just a little, little bit of water

because cabbage contains so much water, so you don't want to drown your cabbage

Going to add a little bit of salt. We're going to add a little bit of pepper

And we're going to give that a stir. Just a quick stir because we want to coat our cabbage in that seasoning

which is butter and bacon grease And it doesn take but a minute for cabbage I like mine with some crispiness to it I don like mine cooked down to mush Check on our cabbage real quick like and it ready for me

to pop the meat on it. This is the way the corned beef comes, canned like this. And you can find it

in your grocery store next to your tuna fish, the yummy Spam and potted meats

the canned shrimp, the canned crab. It's not a pretentious meat, but don't be so snobby now that you don't try it

because it really is good, but it's extra yummy cooked this way

This is so simple. You just break it into chunks, just like that

where if we had used a fresh corned beef, we'd be talking about four hours

So this is just really, makes eating corned beef and cabbage real, real easy

All right, now I'm gonna take this bacon that Michael cooked for me, and I'm just gonna kinda cut it up

and chunk it back in the pot. And I mean, I've got supper and it's been 10 minutes

I'm just gonna put the lid back on that and let that corned beef heat through and through

It's only been 10 minutes and my entree is ready. So you know, oh, hear it sizzling

So you know what that means. It's time for me to taste

It's a belly pleaser
