Ingredients and Variations

ONIONS: Always the base for savory dishes, but feel free to augment with shredded or diced carrots and cabbage to bulk up the meal. Green, red, or yellow bell peppers add some crunch and a pop of color!

POTATOES: This is one recipe where the type of potato doesn’t matter, and they don’t even have to be peeled! Make sure they are diced approximately the same size and cooked beforehand.

CORNED BEEF: Any style of corned beef will work. Chop into pieces the same size as the potatoes so there’s a little of both in each bite!
