Corned Beef

Brine a brisket in a mixture of spices, salt, sugar, and water, then bathe it in flavor for 7-10 days. Dry it off, give it a quick rub, and then it's straight into a water bath where it evolves into a deeply flavored treat that you can take tailgaiting, pile onto a plate with some cabbage, or mix into a hash for weekend breakfast. Try it once, and you'll never go back to the supermarket stuff.
