It’s also great folded into fried rice with garlic, soy sauce, and a touch of chili heat.

I’ve baked it into savory pies with mashed potatoes on top for a comforting twist!

For quick lunches, I mix it into sandwiches with mustard, pickles, and sharp cheddar. Yum!

The salty corned beef really ties the eggs and salsa together—I’m always surprised by how well it works!

10. Corned Beef Fried Rice

11. Corned Beef and Vegetable Soup

This soup uses canned corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes for a cozy, filling meal.

Just spoon the beef straight from the can—it melts into the broth and adds a rich, salty flavor.
