This recipe is great for using up leftover corned beef from American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These corned beef supper sandwiches are perfect served with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad. For a fun twist, pair them with a tangy coleslaw or pickle spears. They also pair beautifully with Zippy Meatball Appetizers for a hearty gathering.

Leftover sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster oven or under a broiler until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. Avoid microwaving as it can make the bread soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of bread?
Absolutely! While rye bread adds a distinct flavor, you can use any bread of your choice, such as sourdough or whole grain. Just ensure it can hold the weight of the sandwich and complements the toppings.
Can I make the patties in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the patties ahead of time. Form and coat them in cracker crumbs, then store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before frying. This makes for a quick assembly when you're ready to cook.
What can I use instead of corned beef hash?
If you don’t have corned beef hash, you can use homemade corned beef or any leftover meat. Shredded beef combined with some seasoning can work as a delicious alternative, giving you a similar texture.
