Our Best Ideas for Leftover Corned Beef

Corned beef is one of our favorite dishes for St. Patrick’s Day but preparing one that’s tender and juicy is truly a labor of love. Even if you buy a brisket that’s already cured (and save yourself lots and lots of brining time) you’ll still need several hours to cook it. Unless you’re feeding a crowd on March 17th you’re going to have some leftovers—but that’s one of the best reasons to cook your own. Corned beef is the perfect addition to everything from soups and sandwiches to casseroles and quiche, which means that you’ll have no problem using up your extras. And, you’ll find that whatever you add it to ends up even more delicious as a result. Case in point? This make-ahead casserole that’ll remind you of a Western omelet, supercharged with crispy potato tots and savory corned beef.
