Corned Beef Hash is a classic hearty breakfast choice that's easy to make, and a great way to start your day. This filling one-skillet meal combines diced potatoes, onion, bell pepper, and Stemple Creek corned beef topped with fried or poached eggs. We added in some fresh-picked chard, and chives from the garden for extra green goodness, but you can get creative with any veggie additions that sound good.

If you're entertaining or gearing up for game day with friends, this savory Hot Reuben Dip is destined to become a new appetizer favorite. Based on the flavors of the famous deli sandwich, this dip is comfort food at its best. Simply mix cream cheese, sour cream, Thousand Island dressing, sauerkraut (*we love "Roasted Garlic Kraut" made by Cleveland Kraut in this recipe), Swiss cheese, and Stemple Creek corned beef in a large bowl. Pour into a lightly buttered oven proof dish and bake for 15-20 minutes. Viola! Serve with Triscuits or rye chips and watch it disappear. It's a guaranteed crowd pleaser you'll make again and again.
