Recipe(tried): Simple Corned Beef and Cabbage

I don't know if this is a "better" recipe, Lesley, but it is a bit more simple.

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

3 pounds flat cut corned beef
3 medium sweet onions, peeled and halved
6 large carrots, peeled and cut in thirds
6 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
1 medium heat cabbage, cut in wedges
1 pint sour cream
1 jar prepared horseradish
cayenne pepper to taste

Place corned beef in large pot or Dutch oven. Cover with water to 3 inches above beef. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 2 1/2 hours or until meat is tender.

Add onions, carrots and potatoes. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Remove corned beef to platter and keep warm.

Increase heat to medium high. Add cabbage wedges and cook 10 minutes or until tender.

While beef is cooking, combine sour cream and enough horseradish to your liking. (I like mine hot.) Add a dash or two of cayenne pepper.

Slice corned beef across the grain. Serve with vegetables and horseradish sauce on the side.

Makes 6 servings.
