Corned Beef Hash
How many of you grew up eating Corned Beef Hash as a kid? I did, but usually, it was a camping treat, we’d make it in a cast iron skillet over the campfire for breakfast.
Back then, we always used the canned stuff, and you can definitely use it in this recipe too, but it’s pretty amazing when made with Homemade Corned Beef and the perfect way to use up leftovers from St. Patrick’s Day!
I absolutely love breakfast hashes, my Sweet Potato Hash is a favorite in our house, but I always look forward to this time of year when I get to indulge in some corned beef hash!
This hash recipe is made with super simple ingredients like onion, potatoes, butter, thyme, and pepper. It doesn’t need a whole lot of additional seasoning because the corned beef itself is so flavorful thanks to a lengthy brining process.
But if you want to add even more flavor and texture to this dish, try serving it with a poached egg on top and let that creamy rich yolk soak into the hash, that’s the way my husband likes it, but I prefer it straight up!

My husband would love it if I made him this corned beef hash. He even liked it from the can (gasp) but this is a HUGE step above that. Thanks for the recipe!

Definitely not knocking on the can, it’s what we’ve all grown up with, but when you can make it from scratch, why not, right!

Yes….I would eat this for brunch, lunch…and dinner. I remember corned beef in a can. OMG I don’t even remember the last time I had that. I prefer homemade corned beef too. PLUS….you need the leftovers to make this delicious meal.
