Ora Mae’s Easy Corned Beef Cabbage

My kids and husband are not fans of Traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage, but everyone loves my Mother’s recipe for this traditional dinner. It is a basic cabbage dish with canned corned beef. For those of you with picky kids who do not like the taste of a corned beef brisket, give this one a try. I guarantee your family will like it, and it takes less time than the traditional brisket dinner. Note: Traditional soda bread is a St. Paddy’s day favorite, however my Mother served this dish with good ‘ole American Corn Bread – it’s just as good too!
