Make sure you save some corned beef for leftovers. You know how some things are better the next day? Corned beef is definitely one of those things. Here are my favorite ways to repurpose leftover corned beef.
Reuben Hand Pies are light and flakey with an all butter crust and filled with corned beef, cabbage, potato and Swiss cheese.

Reuben Sandwich layered with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing all on marbled sourdough rye bread. I made a recipe for Marbled Sourdough Rye Bread just so I could enjoy this Reuben Sandwich. I find it absolutely necessary to have marbled rye bread instead of just plain rye bread. It really makes the sandwich, both visually and because it’s so good!
