Is it possible to use canned corned beef? I can get that easily, unlike brisket. The recipe sounds delicious!
I can’t see why not! I would suggest very gently folding in the corned beef so it doesn’t break apart too much.
Great recipe! I used leftover corned beef brisket (from 6 mos ago), bacon ( only because I had it)… and Fiesta blend cheese ( only because I didn’t have swiss)… the husband LOVED IT! DEFINITELY will be repeated! Thank you!
Oh yum, thanks for sharing your substitutions, Ramona! Those sound delicious.
