St. Patrick Day Corned Beef n Cabbage

On March 16th every year, fill the bottom of your crockpot insert with onions, carrots and celery.
2 onions,
4 ribs of celery
4 carrots
In large chunks
Take your brisket out of packaging. Salt, pepper, and garlic, rubbing all over. Cut in half if necessary to fit in crockpot. Put on top of vegetables. Take the seasoning packet that came with the brisket plus two bay leaves and put over the top of the brisket. Then add about 1 and a half bottles of Killian's beer. (Or closest kind on sale at FL that week-Killian's was $9.59/12)

Put top on and leave in refrigerator overnight.

The next morning, put insert in crockpot and turn on Low. Go to work and relax. The house is not burning down. You can go home and check at lunch or call Webb and he will do it. (ha)

When you get home at 5:00 or so, cut up potatoes (or use small red ones), put in with meat and turn on High. Let those cook a while, then add cabbage on top to get it "steamed". Depending on how you like your cabbage can take from 15-30 mins.
