Corn Beef and Cabbage

St. Patricks Day is nearly here. The one time of year I make Corn Beef. This is easy and yummy.
NEED:
1 corned beef brisket, about 4 pounds
1 small bay leaf
6 peppercorns
1 pound carrots, or about 8 to 10, trimmed, scraped, and left whole
12 small whole onions, peeled
6 medium potatoes, peeled
1 medium head of cabbage, cut in wedges
Place meat in a deep stock pot or kettle; cover with water. Add bay leaf and peppercorns. Bring to a boil; skim off foam. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 3 hours. Add vegetables; simmer for about 45 minutes longer, or until vegetables and meat are tender.
Serve corned beef surrounded with vegetables. Corned beef dinner serves 8 to 10 .

Enjoy!
