Corned Beef & Cabbage Recipe: A Traditional Irish Boiled Dinner Recipe by 30Seconds Food
What are you serving for St. Patrick's Day? It's said that corned beef was used in place of bacon by Irish immigrants in the 19th century. Great idea!
Here's an easy Irish recipe for a traditional corned beef and cabbage boil many serve for St. Patrick's Day. Some like the spice packet that comes with the corned beef brisket added to the water, some don't. It's your call.
Have leftover corned beef? (Of course you do!) Here are a few ways to use leftover corned beef:
Make a reuban sandwich using rye bread, cheese, sauerkraut, sliced or chopped leftover corned beef and mustard. Serve hot.
Slice leftover corned beef and serve over colcannon, mashed potatoes or mashed potatoes with peas.
Fry some chopped potatoes and make a corned beef hash topped with a fried egg.
Use sliced leftover corned beef on a cold sandwich in place of your regular lunchmeat.
