Corned Beef and Cabbage

I went out for Corned Beef and Cabbage twice this year.  On Sunday, I felt that my cabbage, potatoes and carrots were flavorless.  Today, at lunch, my meal was better, but the veggies were still lacking that special something.  I guess there is just no changing the fact that some things are better made at home.  Here is how I make mine!  I use my BIG Nesco roaster.  I put quartered potatoes, a head of cabbage, a bag of carrots and two packages of corned beef.  (I always buy one center cut and one brisket.)  The meat goes on top of the veggies and then I put water in until it is just above the meat.  Sprinkle the seasoning packets that come with the meat over the top of the whole thing along with some salt.  (Sometimes I add a bay leaf or two!)  It cooks all day.  (About 6 hours)  My meat just falls apart and because the veggies are cooked all day in the same roaster, they have phenomenal flavor!  How do you do yours?
