How do you keep corned beef and cabbage leftovers?
As suggested above, put the corned beef and cabbage in separate containers and refrigerate. As for the broth - you can save it and make a great soup out of it. Here is a recipe for Reuben Soup, just exchange 3-cups of left over broth for the 3-cups of water the recipe calls for.



1/2 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped celery

3 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

3 cups water

4 cubes beef bouillon

8 ounces shredded corned beef

1 cup sauerkraut, drained

1 tsp. Worcester sauce

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

3 cups half-and-half cream

3 cups shredded Swiss cheese

8 slices rye bread, toasted and cut into triangles



In a large saucepan, cook onion and celery in butter until tender; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in water and bouillon, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.



Stir in corned beef, sauerkraut, cream, and 1 cup of the cheese. Cook and stir for 30 minutes or until slightly thickened.



Preheat broiler.



Ladle soup into 8 ovenproof bowls. Top each serving with a slice of bread and sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese on top of each slice of bread. Place in oven under broiler until the cheese melts and lightly browns.
Reply:Drain it. Store them separately. Toss the cabbage after the second day. The meat after 3 days, or freeze it by the third day. Thaw only once. Do not refreeze. Toss remains of thawed.

Safety first!
Reply:I dump the water. I put the cabbage and the corned beef in separate heavy-duty food bags and squeeze out the air.



This works well.

Reply:I would just put them in tubberware, and refridgerate them. Leftovers are always better than the 1st meal.
