If you have plans to cook corned beef, you are not going to regret it (especially if you’re using your slow cooker or Instant Pot , which make it extra-easy!). New to making the hearty dinner? Don’t sweat it! Preparing the Irish-American classic is really so simple .
The big question though, is: have you thought about your plans for the leftovers? Because there will inevitably be leftover corned beef. Maybe you have a ton of leftover meat that feels easy to turn into another meal. But even if you only have a little bit of meat leftover, it can still be stretched into another meal, I’ll show you how. Here are 12 fun and delicious ways to use up leftover corned beef.
Corned beef hash, cooked up with onion, bell pepper, and potato, then topped with a yolky fried egg, is the obvious choice. Especially if you have lots of leftovers.
A few smart shortcuts, including a bag of frozen veggies and the use of a cast iron skillet, makes this the easiest shepherd's pie recipe, especially if you start with leftover corned beef instead of using ground beef.
If you only have a little bit of corned beef leftover, stuffed baked potatoes are a super- smart and easy way to stretch the meat into another meal. Just like the classic sandwich, you'll load up your potato with plenty of sauerkraut, corned beef, Swiss cheese, chopped pickles, and thousand island dressing.
If you have somewhere between a half and full pound of leftover corned beef, this skillet is my favorite way to use it up. The corned beef replaces a few links of kielbasa, and since it's already cooked, you'll follow the recipe as written, adding the meat in the last two minutes of cooking.
I can tell you from experience that you will not regret swapping corned beef for sirloin steak in these hearty sandwiches, which get layered with a slick of Dijonnaise, pickled red onion, and arugula.
If you love the idea of partnering corned beef with some eggs for breakfast, but a hash isn't really your thing, I strongly recommend it in place of ham for cheesy breakfast quesadillas. Slice the corned beef into thin strips and use two to three strips of meat per quesadilla.
Tacos are always a good idea for using up leftover corned beef. Start with this recipe, which calls for rotisserie chicken, as inspiration. With a few smart grocery store items, dinner is ready in about 15 minutes.
Grab a bunch of asparagus and a package of frozen puff pastry. Then use that last little bit of chopped corned beef (which replaces ham) for a fast and fancy, spring-inspired tart.
