Beef

The tastiest corned beef dinner you’ll ever have, hands down. Not boiled, but baked! A treat for St. Patrick’s Day!

This delicious, satisfying enchilada bake is made with lean ground beef, tomatoes, chile peppers, shredded cheddar cheese, and tortillas.

Picadillo is a traditional dish in many Latin American countries; it’s made with ground meat, tomatoes, and regional ingredients. The Puerto Rican and Cuban versions include olives and on occasion capers, and is usually served with black beans and rice.

Pulpetta, or Cuban Meatloaf – It is fried on the stovetop until well browned or a golden crust forms, then simmered in a delicious creole sauce. A hard boiled egg in the center adds a special look!

I like to cook a lovely corned beef on Saint Patrick’s Day – to celebrate my Irish heritage (on my Momma’s side). We generally do the traditional New England Boiled dinner with carrots, potatoes and cabbage; a nice loaf of rye bread and butter on the side.
