Ran across some corned beef at the store for $1.99lb., grabbed a pack for an easy meal. I usually corn my own beef but this was too easy to pass up.

It was so messy, I had dressing and juices running down to my elbow, but I'm washable. lol
Could be that I was starving, but this was one of my favorite sandwiches to date.

Thanks for looking!
 
Outstanding, matter of fact they look good enough for a blog. One question, did it make a big difference not soaking the brine out for 24hrs?
 
I do the same........homemade preferred, but it is tough to pass up a deal.

Nice job, as always.
 
Looks great Jeanie, sammy like that would hit the spot for sure. Have to tackle it head down elbows up. :wink:
 
Great looking sandwich. I find the messier they are to eat, the better they taste.
 
Lookin' very good. :thumb:

I've followed your posts about smoking fish and then canning it... but have you ever canned corned beef or flavor smoked corned beef? It's a handy product to have on the shelf. The raw pack works great and with a little trimming the amount of fat is surprising low.
 
Good thing you got a pool there - easy cleanup after the sammich, esp. since we all now know you don't have to wait 30 minutes after eating!

I could go for one of those sammiches right this second - that looks great Jeanie!

anybody else keep going back and looking at her pix over and over like some kinda food stalker? :oops:
