I tried your mustard glaze on corned beef that I was serving for my bunco group. Oh my, that was the first time I ever pleased 12 women at once. They loved it and a few left my home with the recipe.

I never cared for corned beef and cabbage until this recipe. Everyone loved it, including me. I will never make this any other way! It was easy, and SO good! There were 4 of us eating, and there NO left overs. I'm making it again for St. Patrick's Day, and I was told not to change anything, except to make MORE. I was also told that they will never eat anyone's corned beef except mine. So I'm tripling the recipe. And it's still just the 4 of us. Thanks, cooks.com!!!
