7 Corned Beef Recipes So You Can Celebrate St. Patrick's Day the Right Way

Ah, St. Patrick’s Day — the one time of year when it is perfectly acceptable to subsist on meat and potatoes (and beer) alone. And you know what that means: corned beef.

In anticipation of your St. Patty’s Day festivities, we’re bringing you the one recipe you need to make slow-cooked corned beef, plus seven different ways to use it up before you’re passed out at the pub.
