Recipe: Easy Corned Beef & Cabbage

We don't usually use canned meat, but if you're going to, corned beef is one thing that can take a while from scratch. This recipe combines fresh cabbage, onions, and celery with some canned items to make a simple corned beef dish that tastes pretty darn good.

Easy Corned Beef & Cabbage
(Serves 4-6.)

Ingredients:

1 medium head cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
1 small onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced small
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
2 to 3 cups shredded corned beef (precooked)
1 can (28 oz size) crushed tomatoes
1/2 Tbsp coarse ground prepared mustard

Instructions:

• Get out an oven-proof pot or Dutch oven, and coat inside with cooking oil.
• Arrange the cabbage wedges as evenly as possible into the pot, sprinkle the onion and celery evenly over the top of the cabbage, then carefully pour in the chicken broth.
• Put pot on medium heat, bring to a boil, then turn heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer slowly for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• After the cabbage has simmered for 10 minutes, remove from heat, uncover, and add the corned beef over the cabbage, pour the crushed tomatoes over evenly, then spread the mustard evenly over the crushed tomatoes, mixing together slightly.
• Cover pot and put in preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until cabbage is tender.

Recipe: Meaty Stewed Cabbage

This is a variation on the theme of corned beef & cabbage - if you don't like corned beef, you can substitute this dish for your Irish festivities this weekend. Cabbage is a traditional winter staple, as it keeps well in cold storage for months, which is partly why it's part of this holiday tradition. The addition of sausage provides more flavor than just beef, and you can make this one a bit spicy if you like. This is a very easy dish so it's great for a busy holiday weekend. Enjoy, and have a fun, safe holiday!

Meaty Stewed Cabbage
(Serves 8-12.)

Ingredients:

1 lb. bulk pork sausage
1 lb. ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
10 to 12 cups shredded cabbage (depending on how much cabbage you want)

Directions:

1. In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, put the sausage and beef, cook (breaking up the meat) until browned slightly.
2. Add the remaining ingredients to pot and allow to come up to a boil, then immediately reduce  heat and simmer, covered with lid vented slightly, for 10 to 15 minutes or until cabbage is tender. 
3. Will serve 8 hungry people or 10 to 12 light eaters.
