Corned Beef Roasted in Guinness

4 lb Corned Beef (or whatever size you have)
1 cup brown sugar, light or dark
1 or 2 bottles of Guinness Stout

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Trim the fat off the beef, rub the brown sugar all over the meat, including the bottom. This is kind of messy, I did it in the pan that I was going to roast the meat in. Pour the Guinness around the meat and gently over the top to wet the sugar. I lifted the meat a little so the Guinness would get underneath too. If there is a spice packet in with the beef you can add that too. Cover, bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I took the meat out then and poured off most of the liquid then roasted potatoes, carrots and parsnips in a little of the Guinness liquid so they weren't overcooked, still a little crunchy.

I'm definitely going to do this again. It really gave the corned beef nice flavor, that combined with Kate's Arizona Champagne mustard was a great combo!  I'll do it in the crock pot next time because I think the beef is more tender when it cooks at a lower temp for longer. Enjoy and let me know what you think! xo Mom
