7 St. Patrick’s Day Recipes That Aren’t Corned Beef & Cabbage
Want to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but not a fan of corned beef & cabbage or maybe you want to try something new? Check out this list of 7 St. Patrick’s Day Recipes That Aren’t Corned Beef & Cabbage!
My mom always made corned beef and cabbage when I was a kid. I think it had more to do with corned beef going on sale than celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Regardless, as an adult I adopted the tradition and started making it for my family.
The problem? I’m the only person in my family that likes corned beef and cabbage!
I do understand that a pickled meat isn’t for everyone. I also understand that soggy cabbage may not appeal to a lot of people.
That’s why I’m sharing 7 St. Patrick’s Day Recipes That Aren’t Corned Beef & Cabbage, where you’re sure to find something delicious for Saint Patrick’s Day! 
1. The Ultimate Corned Beef Bagel Sandwich
Sautéed onions, pan-fried corned beef slices, melted cheese, and garlicky dill pickles all layered between a toasted Everything bagel with a creamy mustard spread. I cook a corned beef in a slow cooker and use slices of that to make this sandwich from the leftovers. So good!
You can get the recipe from Flavorful Eats.
2. Slow Cooker Homemade Pastrami
Did you know you can take that corned beef from the grocery store and turn it into pastrami? Susan, from The Lazy Slow Cooker explains her method in the link below!
