Corn Beef Patties
Ingredients
1 can corned beef (not hash)
1 can tomatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Garlic salt, to taste
Pastry for a double-crust pie (or biscuit-style dough, such as Bisquick)
1 can tomato sauce
Preheat oven: 400°F
Instructions
Prepare pastry for a double-crust pie (or use a biscuit-style dough such as Bisquick). Set aside.
Chop the corned beef and tomatoes. Mix with chopped onion, bay leaf, oregano, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic salt.
Simmer the mixture for at least 2 hours.
Roll pastry out thin. Cut squares large enough to line muffin tin cups with corners that can fold over the top.
Line muffin cups with pastry. Using a slotted spoon, fill each cup with the corned beef mixture.
Fold corners inward to cover the filling.
Bake until golden brown, about 20–25 minutes.
Meanwhile, add tomato sauce to the remaining meat mixture and simmer while the pastry bakes.
Serve patties with the tomato-sauce mixture spooned over or alongside.
Serves 4–6. Make-ahead tip: patties can be made earlier and reheated about 10 minutes before serving.
FAQ
What kind of corned beef should I use?
Use canned corned beef (not corned beef hash), as the recipe notes.
Can I shorten the simmer time?
The long simmer helps the flavors meld and thickens the mixture. If you’re in a hurry, simmer longer than 30 minutes if possible.
What dough works best for the pastry cups?
Any double-crust pie dough works. A biscuit-style dough (like Bisquick) also works for a more bread-like crust.
Can I make these ahead?
Yes. Bake earlier in the day and reheat about 10 minutes before serving.
