What to do With Leftover Corned Beef

Corned Beef Strata - This is what I made with our leftover corned beef. I went on the internet to find out what to do with leftover corned beef and this is what I finally settled on... Corned Beef Strata from HERE.

What is a “strata”?  A strata is a family of layered casserole dishes in American Cuisine... Google definition.
Let’s see what the layers are made of..

INGREDIENTS: onion, spinach, corned beef, eggs, milk cheddar cheese, and mustard, salt and pepper


  • 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped, about 1 1/2 cups
Fry onion in butter or olive oil until transparent.

onions

Add and cook down:
1 package fresh baby spinach (I bought organic)

spinach and onions

ADD:
1 1/2 cups diced corned beef
with a pinch of grated or ground nutmeg
salt and pepper
Set aside.

ALERT: Here come the layers..

Layer next 3 ingredients until you run out of them.
6 or 7 cups of cubed bread (your choice)

bread chunks

Layer also...
2 cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese or a Cheddar and Monterey Jack combination (save some for the top of the casserole) – I kept most of the shredded Cheddar cheese for the top (my family likes things cheesy.
The mixture of spinach, onions, and corned beef.

eggs

Keep layering: Corned beef mixture, bread chunks, and cheese..

Whisk 8 eggs, 2  1/4 cups milk, and 2 TBSP Spicy (Dijon) Mustard and pour over casserole ingredients. Pat down bread so that it gets soaked through.

Top with remaining cheese.

Cover with tin foil and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours.

Take out of the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 25 minutes;
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes until eggs mixture is sort of solid.

My family loved this but my son did say to leave out the spinach next time. :)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone. 

Did you know what a “strata” was? I didn’t, but I do now and it came out AWESOME!
