Corned Beef & Cabbage Calzones

I know that corned beef hash is the ultimate use for leftover corned beef and cabbage. But next time you make a corned beef dinner, save some of those leftovers for these corned beef and cabbage calzones. This is one of my oldest recipes–I made it for the first time for a St. Patrick’s Day party in 2007!

This year, I did a little tinkering with the recipe. My favorite tweak to the calzones is a nod to NYC delis–the sprinkle of poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning. This addition adds a nice crunch to the calzones. I also geared the recipe toward using your leftovers. If you don’t have leftovers, you might want make a corned beef dinner just to make these calzones because they are absolutely delicious.


This recipe is easily doubled. To make them for a party, consider making smaller, bite-sized calzones.

Finally, a serving suggestion: split open cooked calzones, add a over-medium egg, and a slice of cheese for the ultimate breakfast sandwich!

How to Cook Corned Beef

During recipe testing, I cooked my corned beef two ways. I made my first corned beef in the Instant Pot. The second one I braised in the oven for 4 hours. I really preferred the oven-braised roast. It was far more tender and flavorful.

How to Cook a Corned Beef Roast in the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350F.
  • Place your corned beef roast in a large Dutch oven or oven-proof pot with the seasoning packet, if you have one.
  • Add enough water to the pot that it comes halfway up the roast.
  • Bring the water to a simmer on the stove. Then put the cover on your pot and place it in the middle rack of your preheated oven.
  • Cook for 3-4 hours until the corned beef is very tender and easily shredded.
  • For best results, cook your vegetables separately; but if you’d like to cook them with the corned beef, add the heartier vegetables to the pot with one hour left. Add cabbage to the pot with 30 minutes left.

How to Cook a Corned Beef in the Instant Pot

  • Place the corned beef roast in your Instant Pot insert with the seasoning packet, if you have one.
  • Add enough water to the pot that it comes halfway up the roast.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and place the valve in place for pressure cooking.
  • Pressure cook on high for 65 minutes for smaller, 4-5 pound, roasts; for larger roasts, cook for 75 minutes.
  • When the pressure cooking cycle ends, release the pressure using the quick release method.
  • Remove from the pressure cooker.
  • Cook your vegetables separately by roasting or steaming. You can also use the Instant Pot after the corned beef. Clean out the insert, then add the vegetables with 1 cup of water. Pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.

    Place the dough round on the counter lightly dusted with flour. Fill with about 1 cup of filling placing the filling. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges of the dough to close the calzone.
    Repeat with all of the dough balls.
