Corned Beef and Cabbage

Corned beef became a staple in Irish-American homes. Most commonly, corned beef was made with boiled cabbage because it was affordable. When many Irish families came to America, they did not have a strong source of income, so money was tight. While boiled cabbage is typically partnered with this meat, there are many other tasty ways to enjoy and prepare this traditional dish. A few ways to incorporate corned beef into your St. Patrick’s Day include:
