Ingredients
Main Bowl:
- 1 lb corned beef, sliced or shredded (use deli slices or leftovers, or cook your own)
- 1 bag (12-14 oz) coleslaw mix (no dressing)
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 2–3 tbsp butter
- 1–2 tbsp Hazy Midnight seasoning (be generous)
- 1 cup shredded or sliced Swiss cheese
- Scallions, sliced (optional but sexy)
Easy Russian Dressing:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 4 tsp prepared horseradish (the good stuff)
- 1 tsp hot sauce (or more if you're spicy)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
-
Sizzle Up the Beef
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the corned beef and Hazy Midnight seasoning. Let it get warm, sizzly, and a little crispy—about 5 minutes, covered.
-
Steam & Soften the Veggies
Add the coleslaw mix and sauerkraut right into the skillet. Stir it in, cover again, and let it cook for another 5 minutes until the cabbage gets soft but still holds some sass.
-
Get Cheesy
Stir everything up, then top with Swiss cheese. You can either:
-
Cover the skillet and melt it right there, OR
-
Toss the skillet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until it bubbles like lava. (Just don’t walk away. Cheese drama happens fast.)
-
Dress to Impress
While cheese melts, mix all your Russian dressing ingredients in a bowl. Taste it. Add more hot sauce if you’re feeling spicy.
-
Final Touch
Drizzle the warm bowl with that glorious dressing, top with scallions, and serve hot with a pint in hand.
Pro Tip
If you're making your own corned beef, rub it down with Hazy Midnight before adding your usual pickling spice mix. It’s the flavor glow-up that deli meat deserves.
