Description

This canned corned beef and cabbage recipe is a simple, practical dinner for nights when you want something hearty without a lot of prep. The cabbage softens into a tender, flavorful base, and the canned corned beef makes the whole meal quick and dependable.

Ingredients
  • 200 g Bacon, about 200 g, chopped into small pieces
  • One small onion, sliced thinly so it softens quickly
  • 100 g Butter, roughly 8 tbsp or 110 g
  • One medium head of cabbage, cut into chunky pieces
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • A small pinch of mild Cajun or Creole seasoning, optional
  • 340 g One can of corned beef (broken into small pieces)
  • Red pepper flakes, a small pinch, optional for heat
Instructions
  1. 1
    Warm a large pot over medium heat and cook the bacon until it releases its fat and turns lightly golden.
  2. 2
    Stir in the sliced onion and let it soften for a couple of minutes, mixing it around so it cooks evenly.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    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.
  6. 6
    Once the cabbage is tender, stir in the canned corned beef, breaking it into small pieces so it blends in smoothly.
  7. 7
    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.
