15 Recipes for Leftover Corned Beef

These 15 recipes for leftover corned beef will have you wanting to make corned beef and cabbage again soon just for the leftovers!

Do you usually have leftover corned beef? We usually have a bit and while it’s great just reheated, I try to find a new way to incorporate the leftovers into a recipe as well.

I was left scratching my head trying to come up with recipes for leftover corned beef that were a bit different this year though, so off I went searching. Here’s 15 delicious recipes for leftover corned beef that I found.

Best Ways To Store Leftover Corned Beef

When you’re using leftover corned beef you definitely don’t want it to be dried out or freezer burned.

If storing corned beef in the fridge I like to use a high-quality air-tight container and if you have any leftover broth add in a bit to help keep the meat moist.

If freezing the corned beef I like to put it in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. If I don’t have enough meat to fill up over half of the bag I usually wrap it in plastic wrap and really try to get as much air out as possible.

We also bought a FoodSaver vacuum sealing system this year while they were on sale at Costco. If you want to extend the life of your frozen food from becoming freezer burned it definitely seems to help!

Smart Savvy Tip: I always make a mess of the bag or counter when trying to fill up freezer bags myself. Until I got this hands-free food storage bag holder that is. It’s super affordable and such a big help!
