I only gave 3 stars because there is so much missing from this recipe. As is- it's like what you would find on the back of the cream cheese box, simple & easy but, if you want to make it special with some depth, taste & color you need to add much more like others have stated. this is what I did: less cocktail sauce (or it's to sweet) to taste horseradish imatation crab meat chopped pimentos dash of white pepper a bit of chopped fresh parsley and you HAVE to add sour cream or your have this really thick cream cheese mess that hard to serve. Then your have a nice appi to serve with crackers and fresh veggies

I did not try this exact recipe but had to comment. This has been my secret for years. Make it easy on yourself, just throw it all in the crockpot. Depending on the size of the crockpot is how much G. beer I use, but at least one can and I do add water too, it does not have to be all beer. And use the spices they give you with your corn beef. I add a few cloves of garlic too. I think this year I will add just a little of the brown sugar like this recipe has but I won't use as much- corn beef should not be sweet. Happy saint Patty's Day!

I gave this 3 stars for the idea, but read the reviews and could tell the mousse would be a little shy on flavor. So I took the tomato idea and ran with it. I have posted what I did as Smoked Salmon mousse tomato tartlet's. Brought them to a party and they were a big hit.
