Corned Beef...aka Corned Silverside

Ingredients
1.5 kg piece (or there abouts...i usually use smaller...although since coming up with my leftovers recipe I might be inclined to buy a bigger piece and have even more leftovers!!)
1 Onion
10 whole cloves
1 Tbsp Golden syrup or Brown Sugar
A couple of Bay leaves (I often wonder how much difference it would make to the flavour if I didnt put these in!!)
1/4 C sugar
1 egg
1 Tbsp Flour
1 tsp Mustard (just use what type you've got, if it is a Hot English one, use a bit less)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Not quite 1/4 C vingear


Turn CrockPot on High
Cut Onion into 6-8 wedges, place on the bottom of crockpot
Tip about 1" water in the bottom
Put Meat on top
Poke cloves into meat and drizzle or sprinkle over golden syrup or brown sugar
Chuck in a couple of Bay leaves
Put lid on and turn to LOW
Cook for 8 hours

Mustard Sauce
When meat is ready, remove from crockpot

In a small microwave safe bowl put sugar and egg and mix together
Add mustard and flour, then stir in about a cup of liquid (if you are wanting to have extra sauce for the leftovers meal, add a little more flour and more liquid, maybe double it...you can add more of the other ingredients too, but i never remember, and it seems to taste fine!)
Add vinegar and heat in microwave till thick (like making a white sauce, you could do it on the stove top too if you prefer....I cant tell you how though...I'm not really a real cook and I like to use the microwave a lot!)

Serve with...whatever you like...but if you are looking for suggestions, I like to serve it with mashed potatoes and peas or another steamed vege or 2, pour sauce over top like a gravy....but make sure you have set aside enough for the leftovers before you serve it out to everyone

Corned Beef Casserole

Does this picture look really disgusting or kind of arty?!?!  I suddenly realised I should take a picture, but I was half way thru eating it!  I have seen this sort of picture in other recipe books!?!?!  No seriously I have!

Ingredients

Left over Corned Beef  (maybe a couple of cups worth)
Left over Mustard Sauce (A little less than a cup probably)
Mashed Potatoes  ( I think i used about 5 potatoes)
Breadcrumbs (half a handfull...just for sprinkling over the top)
Dots of Butter (optional)

Cut Corned Beef into small pieces or shread it or something.  Mix it into the gravy and spread into the bottom of a casserole dish.
Top with Mashed potatoes
Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top and if you feel like making it particularly tastey add a few dots of butter across the top (although this will add callories and butter costs money!?!?)

Throw it in the oven at about 180C and cook for 30 - 40 mins until heated through and poatatoes and breadcrumbs are  starting to go golden and then just decide on quite how golden you like it and take it out then!

I like to serve it with some sort of green vege, maybe brocolli or frozen peas again...maybe a salad if you have lettuce you need to use up.  It's already got the potatoe in, so you dont need to bother with the starty vege.

Like the Roast Chicken Casserole  this needs a little bit of forthought.  When you are making your corned beef in the first place, just make a little bit of extra gravy, set aside that and enough meat for an extra meal, before serving it out to the family.
