    Baked Corned Beef with a brown sugar mustard glaze is a delicious way to serve this Irish American classic.

    I picked up two corned beef briskets on sale at the store yesterday and decided to try the baking method for dinner last night so I could be sure to get this blog written before St Patrick's Day.

    The fact that I had no room in the fridge or freezer for two briskets might have had a little to do with my decision to cook it early.

    They recommended adding the spice packet to the top for extra flavor during baking. But, I opted for a spicy sweet glaze of equal parts brown sugar and brown mustard and added the extra step of browning the glaze - an extra 5 minutes, no big deal.

    The results were delicious. The texture is a bit firmer than the boiling method. And the addition of the glaze to the top added an extra level of flavor I really enjoyed.Β Sir Snubs A LotΒ enjoyed it too, having three helpings!

    What to Serve with Baked Corned Beef

    If you want to bake potatoes and carrotsΒ along with the brisket, add them aroundΒ (on top of) the foilΒ the last hour of cooking.

    I went with a little something different here too and made Colcannon, mashed potatoes with kale and leeks.

    I know St. Patrick's Day is on a Monday this year so it might not fit into your schedule to bake a brisket for 3+ hours. But, you can always make it on Sunday or pick up an extra one and try this recipe later.
