Cornbeef With a Twist

Monday I made BBQ corn beef. I know I am behind schedule. I Saw this on eat streets and I thought wow I never thought of cooking corn beef  bbq style. so I gave it a try. It was delicious. Now Eat Street is a show about food truck eats..but I accommodated it to my kitchen cause I don't have a food truck. This is what I did. My corn beef was 4 pounds. I trimmed the fat. and cut it into smaller pieces and put it in my slow cooker with 2 1/2 cups water. I used the seasoning packet that came with it and I cooked it for four hours. I cooked it with the seasoning packet because I still wanted the cornbeef flavor to be present. After the four hours I took the pieces and sliced them med thin. At this point it is pretty tender. I poured all but 1 cup of the water/juices out of the slow cooker. Put the 1 cup of juices, half an onion, half a bottle of open pit mesquite bbq sauce, a half a bottle of sweet baby rays honey bbq sauce and 1T corn starch for thickening into the slow cooker. I whisked this all together. When the sauce started warming back up and thickening I put the corn beef back in the slow cooker and left it for 1 1/2hr. That meat was soooo tender it was falling apart. The bbq seeped into the corn beef and I tell you..in my sister's voice BAAABY!!!! that sandwich was awesome. Oh I put a slice of chipotle cheese on my sandwich. I put some cheese puffs with it because that was all I had.. I would rather have had potato chips..but hey that did not stop the flow. And I completed my meal with and ice cold cream soda zevia. Tender and delicious. This may not be new to some people but it was new to me and I totally enjoyed it. Give it a try..tell me what you think about this Corn Beef with a Twist.
