This four-ingredient dinner can be ready before 30 minutes are up and is an old-fashioned Hawaii favorite. Canned corned beef is simmered with onions and cabbage until the vegetables are tender. It is a classic comfort food that can provide a dinner for up to six when served with a starch. You might think the cabbage is too much, but it shrinks and adds a delicious sweetness in contrast to the corned (meaning pickled) beef. With the onions and cabbage, the dish is not too salty and just a great fast meal. Serve with hot sauce, if you like spicy. Place a fried egg on top to make it more substantial.
