Tips & Substitutions

For added flavor, consider swapping out the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt or avocado for a healthier twist. If you prefer a kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the mixture. You can also use leftover brisket for a different texture. This recipe is great for using up leftover corned beef from your St. Patrick's Day feast or exploring other beef recipes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these corned beef-onion rolls with a side of potato salad or coleslaw for a complete meal. They can also be enjoyed as a snack during game day. For a fun twist, pair them with a light lager or a refreshing iced tea. These rolls make a great addition to any gathering, much like a classic Reuben Roll.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover corned beef-onion rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, remove the filling from the rolls, warm it in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, then refill the rolls. Alternatively, wrap the filled rolls in foil and heat in a 350°F oven for about 10-15 minutes.
