cornedbeefcabbageskillet Use canned corned beef to get this delicious and filling recipe on the table in only 30 minutes. Enjoy it with cooked diced potatoes or mashed potatoes for an affordable meal quick enough to make any day of the week.

2 slices bacon
2 Tbsp. butter
½ medium head green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
¼ cup onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground
2 Tbsp. water
1 can corned beef

In a deep skillet cook the bacon until crispy over medium heat. Remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on a paper towel lined plate. Once it is cool enough to handle crumble it into small pieces.

Keep the bacon grease in the skillet and adjust the heat to medium low. Add the butter and once melted add the shredded cabbage, onion and garlic. Toss the cabbage pieces to coat the strands in the butter/grease.

Season with salt and pepper. Then pour the water in the skillet and cover. Increase the heat to medium and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Place the corned beef on a cutting board and chop it into rough chunks. It will break up more when it heats up in the skillet.

Add the chunks of corned beef to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.

Serve the corned beef and cabbage topped with bacon bits on top.

Makes 4 servings.

Cook's Notes:

Add a few hot pepper flakes when you add the corned beef for extra flavour.
Serve with mashed or steamed potatoes for a complete and filling meal.
