Ingredients

  • 12 oz. can corned beef
  • 8 hamburger buns
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 8 slices cheese

Instructions

  1. Mix the corned beef, chopped celery, chopped onion, salad dressing, and mustard together.
  2. Place the mixture between hamburger buns.
  3. Top each sandwich with a slice of cheese.
  4. Wrap each sandwich in foil.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For added flavor, consider using Dijon mustard instead of yellow mustard. You can also substitute the corned beef with chopped roast beef or turkey for a lighter option. To enhance the crunch, add some chopped pickles or grated carrots to the mixture. If you prefer a spicier kick, mix in some hot sauce or pepper flakes.

Serving Suggestions

These corned beef sandwiches are delicious served with a side of coleslaw or a simple green salad for a refreshing contrast. For a heartier meal, pair them with potato chips or a warm bowl of soup, like Sausage And Cabbage Soup. They also make a great party snack when cut into smaller portions.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, unwrap the foil and place the sandwiches on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This will help keep the bread from becoming soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh corned beef instead of canned?

Yes, you can definitely use fresh cooked corned beef instead of canned. Just make sure to finely chop or shred it to ensure even mixing with the other ingredients. Fresh corned beef will add a richer flavor and texture to the sandwiches.

How can I make this recipe healthier?

To make this recipe healthier, opt for whole grain buns and reduce the amount of dressing and cheese. You can also increase the vegetable content by adding grated carrots or bell peppers to the mixture. These adjustments will provide more nutrients while still keeping the flavors intact.

Can I prepare these sandwiches ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the corned beef mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, simply assemble the sandwiches and bake them as directed. This makes them a convenient option for busy weeknights or gatherings.
