Ingredients:

1. 1 (12-ounce) can corned beef, drained and rinsed
2. 1 head cabbage, cored and shredded
3. 1 onion, chopped
4. 2 carrots, chopped
5. 3 cloves garlic, minced
6. 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

9. 1 bay leaf
10. 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Tips:

1. For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the pot before browning the corned beef.

Variations:

1. Add some chopped red potatoes to the pot for a more complete meal.
2. For a spicier dish, add a few dashes of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
