corned beef hash

My grandmother was the consomite contradiction in the kitchen. She would serve veal as a regular weeknight meal… and then the following night pull out a frozen hungry man dinner.

Which is why I grew up obsessed with (and loving) canned corned beef hash. Yes it looked (and smelled) like dog food… but seriously? I couldn’t ever get enough. Seriously brings me back to childhood like nothing else.

So obviously I had to make my own version, and top it with fried eggs. As you do…

Ingredients:

3 1/2 lbs corned beef brisket with seasoning pack

2 cans guiness beer

6 Tbsp butter, divided use

1 pkg hash brown potatoes

3 eggs

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Add raw corned beef to large dutch oven with seasoning pack, guiness, and water. Bring to boil and cover. Cook until beef reaches 180 degrees, approx. 2 1/2 hours.

Once beef has cooled, chop into small bite sized pieces.

Heat 2 Tbsp butter in a large cast iron pan.

Add in hash browns. Cook until softened.

Add in corned beef.

Cook until crispy and browned. Top with 2 Tbsp butter. Let melt.

Meanwhile, melt 2 Tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet.

Once butter has melted over medium heat. Crack three eggs. Cook to your prefrence.

I prefer a crispy on both sides egg, with a runny yolk.

Top hash with eggs.
