Grilled Corned Beef with Irish Cheddar Sandwich

We actually cooked out corned beef the day before St. Patrick’s day in the slow cooker. You just put the corned beef and all the juice it comes with and any seasonings it comes with in a slow cooker, set to low and cook till it reaches 160 degrees internal temperature. It came out sooo…

Sloppy Freds (aka Sloppy Joe)

We call these sloppy Fred’s in honor of my dad.  No rhyme or reason for it. He would make us all giggle when he called them that growing up. He figured he didn’t know who Joe was, and figured Fred deserved a “sammich” too. Over the years I have tweaked our family recipe, and this…
