With St. Paddy's Day around the corner and corned beef going on sale, I wanted to share this full-flavored family favorite. Made with sweet and spicy seasoned corned beef this sandwich is sure to please. This is great served with calico corn, a warm cobbler, and a nice stout beer.

Take corned beef to the next level this St. Patrick's Day with these sweet and spicy corned beef sandwiches. The corned beef is tender and juicy. On top is a sticky and tasty brown sugar glaze. The spices seep into the corned beef and enhance its flavor. We thinly sliced the corned beef and piled it on a Kaiser bun. With a nice balance of sweet and savory, these sandwiches are filling and satisfying.
