Corn Beef in the Crockpot

It's almost St. Patrick's Day again!!!!!!  Time seems to be flying by and with all our crazy activities with the little BeaNs, we've been a little slow in getting our act and new recipes together for you. Here's a great repeat recipe that you can make in a crock pot.  I love recipes I can set up and cook while I'm running around all day.  I just bought corned beef today so I'm set to take out my crock pot and make this on Tuesday.
