Love my crockpot but especially love a good meal to come home to and this cornbeef was the best I have ever had I must say thanks to the help of my amazing husband. We created this recipe together. I took it a step further and turned it into an amazing sammie! This will take 10 hours on low in your crockpot but trust me it is so worth the wait! I stuck it on low in the morning before work and came home to a house that smelled so amazing!

    I decided to make a cornbeef and cabbage sammie with the french bread I made the previous day in my bread machine. I took about a quarter of a small head of cabbage and cut it into thick strips, to similate lettuce, I then placed it in a nonstick fry pan with a little olive oil and garlic powder and a few turns of crushed pepper in my pepper mill, stir fried it for a few minutes and removed from heat. Do not over cook as you want some crunch to it.

    I sliced my bread a little thick, placed a layer of cabbage, then cornbeef, and topped with 2 slices of swiss cheese, place the bottom and upper half of my sandwich on a cookie sheet and placed it in a preheated oven at 375° until the cheese was melted. Topped with some horseradish sauce or your favorite topping. Yummy and very very filling.
