Ingredients
Instructions
-
Warm a large pot over medium heat and cook the bacon until it releases its fat and turns lightly golden.
-
Stir in the sliced onion and let it soften for a couple of minutes, mixing it around so it cooks evenly.
-
Add the butter and let it melt, then add the cabbage and season with salt, pepper and a small pinch of Cajun seasoning if you like.
-
Pour in a little chicken broth to create moisture at the bottom of the pot, then mix everything up so the cabbage is well coated.
-
Cover the pot and let the cabbage cook gently for about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring now and then and adding a splash more broth only if needed.
-
Once the cabbage is tender, stir in the canned corned beef, breaking it into small pieces so it blends in smoothly.
-
Let everything warm through for a few minutes, then add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want a little heat.
Note
This dish keeps well in the fridge for about three days and reheats easily on the stovetop.
For a lighter version, use half the bacon and replace some of the butter with a splash of broth.
Leftovers can be tucked into wraps or served over boiled potatoes for another easy meal.
