Corned beef might not be a truly traditional meal when it comes to St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, but that doesn’t mean we love it any less. And while corned beef and cabbage is the go-to main when this festive holiday rolls around, it’s just the beginning of all the wonderful ways to get this hearty meat on the table. Here are 10 more ways to get your fill of corned beef this St. Patrick’s Day.
