hey y'all I'm so glad that you've come
0:03
into the kitchen with me today
0:04
because I'm gonna share with y'all a
0:07
recipe that was my children's favorite
0:10
when they were growing up and it's so
0:12
easy it's so quick and it's so
0:15
economical girl I'm gonna start with my
0:21
cabbage but I want to share with y'all
0:24
something that you might already know
0:27
these outside green leaves are so pretty
0:31
and so so colorful but they're tougher
0:36
and they take longer to cook than the
0:39
inside leaves so what I'm gonna do is
0:42
I'm gonna slice this really green up and
0:46
I use it because I think it's pretty you
0:50
know I like color in my dishes so we are
0:53
gonna put this in the skillet and we'll
0:56
probably cook there for about 10 minutes
0:58
before we add the rest of our cabbage
1:02
because it needs that much longer to
1:05
cook so in the skillet it goes and I'm
1:14
gonna put gosh let's say a half stick of
1:21
butter so there we go
1:25
we're gonna get back to cooking and I
1:31
like to use half butter and half half
1:35
bacon grease so I'm gonna pour
1:42
about that much bacon grease and y'all
1:44
this was my mama's grease pan she she
1:49
kept her bacon grease in this just like
1:54
I'm still doing today 50 or 55 years
1:59
later so we're gonna let that cook and
2:04
while I'm letting that cook I'm gonna
2:07
slice up some onions for it
2:11
so I told y'all while that was cooking
2:14
that I was gonna be slicing me up an
2:17
onion
2:18
look at these onions our son Anthony was
2:23
at Davis produce the other day and he
2:26
called him said Dean I mean Davis do you
2:28
need anything
2:29
I said yes Sonny Boy I'm about out of
2:32
onions so I said bring me like six
2:36
onions and he said whenever as big as my
2:39
head he said they're bigger than any
2:43
onion I've ever seen well I said I would
2:46
use him up quick six so he delivered six
2:50
of these onions and I just love them
2:53
they're called a strawberry onion and
2:57
they are just perfect for what I'm gonna
3:00
do with it so Anthony thank you son for
3:05
showing yo mom
3:07
a strawberry onion because I love them
3:10
so I'm just gonna slice this just like
3:14
this so now I didn't add onions when I
3:18
used to cook this for my boys when they
3:20
were little because you know kind of
3:23
funny about onions and so was their
3:25
daddy if he's sawing onion well he just
3:28
could need it so I had to hide my onions
3:32
in my food back then but I don't hide it
3:36
anymore honey I'm proud of it and if you
3:39
don't eat them that's your loss right
3:44
okay now this board honestly so look
3:51
over here in the pot y'all and you can
3:53
just look at those leaves and see how
3:56
tough they are you know they're not
3:59
gonna give in easily but to me the
4:05
vibrant green of that leaf makes that
4:09
pot of cabbage look so pretty and so
4:12
inviting because I've always said you
4:15
eat it first with your eyes and then
4:18
your tongue alright I'm gonna go ahead
4:26
and add our onion and let that be
4:31
cooking in there and I've got what I
4:34
like almost as much onion as I do
4:37
cabbage I could probably stand to use
4:42
this whole onion but I'm not cuz it's my
4:45
last one and I want to make sure I don't
4:49
run out before I get back to Davis
4:51
produce okay so there we go and I'm
4:56
gonna add some salt and pepper
5:05
and at this point some people would add
5:10
water but I don't I I don't like my
5:14
cabbage and a lot of liquid because
5:19
cabbage is got so much water in it so
5:23
much water in it and it will cook out
5:29
but if I start adding water it can wind
5:34
up looking like cabbage soup and I don't
5:36
want cabbage soup oh my gosh done that
5:45
looks good
5:47
all right I'm gonna put the lid back on
5:49
that and let that just cook for a minute
5:57
or two and then I'm gonna add the rest
6:02
of our cabbage in so right now I want to
6:05
talk to y'all about corned beef I don't
6:08
know if you've body from the grocery
6:10
store lately but the corned beef roast
6:13
are about this big they're all about the
6:15
same size and they're in the $20 range
6:19
close to $25 and when you cook one this
6:24
size after it's cooked it's this size
6:27
I've never seen anything strength
6:29
Theresa like a corned beef so it's a
6:34
very expensive meal and of course when I
6:38
was a young mother with little kids
6:40
there is no way in this world I could
6:43
have spent $25 on a little old corned
6:47
beef so um this is something that my
6:52
mother made I know I've had to have
6:53
gotten it from her I don't know how I
6:55
would have learned it but to me this is
6:58
a lifesaver but canned corned beef
7:01
because you can put this in your pantry
7:04
and it'll stay for a long long time to
7:08
the expiration date and I know it's got
7:11
one on here I just can't see without my
7:13
glasses
7:18
all right let's see there it is January
7:22
2024 so this is good for four years
7:27
y'all now if we had a fresh corn beef in
7:32
the frigerator I grant you it wouldn't
7:34
last till James berry 2024 so this is a
7:37
great thing to stock up with in your
7:39
pantry and look it's even got the old
7:41
timey of weird my kid goes it's got the
7:46
old timey crank alright let's see I want
7:53
to make sure I turn this thing the right
7:55
way all right let's see punch small hole
8:00
in can top to release vacuum seal all
8:05
right attach key remove the bottom end
8:12
of your okay let's see what it says
8:21
attach key handle down for the tab
8:31
remove the bottle I'm gonna soon that if
8:35
I go to the right this won't work oh and
8:41
you know what assume means don't you
8:44
assume ass you me a clue assuming we'll
8:52
really get you into trouble alright so I
8:56
love this old-timey it's been like this
9:00
I know for fifty five sixty years as
9:07
long as I can remember
9:14
you would just never guess that canned
9:20
corned beef would be this good but it is
9:25
alright so I'm gonna go ahead now and
9:32
add the rest of my cabbage and you need
9:39
to just cook that cabbage to the way you
9:44
like it some people like it crisp some
9:48
people like it thoroughly salt I'm kind
9:51
of somewhere in between y'all look at
9:56
that
9:59
that looks so good and of course cabbage
10:02
is so good for us alright so that may
10:08
take maybe 10 minutes and so anyway I
10:15
just thought if you only never use this
10:17
product that it's one that you need to
10:19
know about because you know sometimes
10:24
it's potluck and if you go to your
10:25
pantry and say oh my gosh look at that
10:28
can of corn beef and you can take this
10:30
and um make one beef hash you know ball
10:34
some potatoes and it would be delicious
10:39
for like breakfast or lunch or dinner so
10:44
that's my little love button right there
10:49
it's great to have little things like
10:54
that that you can turn to
10:59
so what I do is I just open this and
11:07
slide that on top of my cabbage and then
11:11
I just take my spoon you know and break
11:14
it into Church into chunks now and all I
11:20
used to use was one can but now I would
11:24
probably need to add two or three cans
11:26
of corned beef and I just made him I
11:41
just shared a nine way of making fresh
11:45
corned beef and cabbage with y'all but I
11:47
was talking about the quick corned beef
11:50
and cabbage and I had a lot of y'all say
11:53
what are you talking about quick corned
11:55
beef and cabbage so that's why I'm
11:58
coming in so quickly and sharing my
12:01
recipe for corned beef and cabbage with
12:03
you because y'all tell a good like y'all
12:06
wanted to know and I want to answer as
12:09

12:14
y'all because y'all have been so good to
12:17
send me notes and things and so I
12:22
appreciate it so I'm gonna take a quick
12:26
break and give this a minute to cook and
12:28
then I'm gonna come back and show you
12:29
the final dish okay y'all my cabbage the
12:37
outside green parts cooked for about ten
12:40
minutes and then I added the onion and
12:42
the rest of the cabbage and it's cooked
12:44
for about ten minutes so I'm being very
12:48
careful not to overcook my cabbage
12:50
because I don't think anybody's ready to
12:54
eat around here so I'm gonna be heating
12:57
it back up so I don't want to overcook
12:58
it but come on in can you come in here
13:01

13:02
look at that beautiful cabbage
13:05
and see those green parts oh they're so
13:09
pretty in there oh and those onions I
13:13
did add a little bit more salt and
13:16
pepper y'all and that does not have a
13:19
drop of water in it not a drop so in
13:28
goes our corned beef and I'm just gonna
13:33
break this up in chunks mmm
