Cans used to be considered good if they were not bulged or leaking. No dates.
How's the flavor om the Walmart brand compared to Mary's Kitchen(my favorite for canned).
It's ok, actually probably made by the same people just a bit different recipe. Fried up with an over easy egg, tough to compare. I like the Mary's Kitchen if I don't have any left over corned beef (love corned beef) to make my own.

Was going to pick up some corned beef the other day.THEN,I saw the price for a 1lb can.WalMart store brand was $3.68 for a can.Hormels was more.That`s just legalized robbery.It can sit on the shelf till it rots.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

I wouldn't pay that either. Check Aldi's hash if you have an Aldi's store.
Wally Mart Great Value is $1.98 for the 15 ounce can and the reviews were pretty good. I'm going to give it a try.
I have found I actually prefer some of the Great Value products to the name brands.
I have been a Spam lover my whole life and tend to be brand loyal but tried the Great Value canned Luncheon Meat ( after a hurricane supply run cleaned the shelves of spam) and I hate to say it but it was good and I liked it.

Great Value tuna is really good too. and usually a LOT less money!
gwpercle,
Fwiw, the BEST TASTING canned refried beans that I've ever found are the HEB house brand for 58 cents a can.
LOTS of store brand items are A-OK.

From scratch, ehmmm. Do you all know what the corn beef is made with? lips and *******. I guess briskets could come close to "from scratch". Basically corning meat just about destroys, covers, or eliminates any basic structure of the initial meat started with. It is basically just curing meat with salt. Sometimes fats are left on like the briskets that might add to the flavor of a dish like a corned beef dinner. But, a corned beef dinner taste nothing like beef.
So, you could take any meat source and corn it with salt. I take all my deer shank meat and other similar scraps when butchering deer and cut it up into small pieces. Get a five gallon bucket, fill it 2/3 with water, add enough Tender Quick to almost float an egg, add a generous Tbs or more of pickling spice (if that may float your boat), stir, then add meat. When the meat starts to sink or mid depth take it out. Rinse if you want. Really the salt solution or its intensity, the length of time on the soak, and the choice of the rinse is where salt becomes to the palate, too salty or not salty enough. Experimentation is needed at this process to you own palate. Something like cooking up a silver stream for the gun you just bought in the spring and needing to figure a load for the fall deer season. You can play with other spices as well. Can in 1/2 pints or pints depending on your possible corned meat consumption.
Finely dice enough taters for the pan you would be using, pour a little oil in, chop up an onion, and add a meaty portion of your corned product and cook with cover slowly just about when the taters are done then turn up the heat and crisp the hash. When you do the process to your liken it can get pretty tasty with "Ah , I ate to much and can't breathe after breakfast" tendencies.
The canned corned meat can also make decent sandwiches. Along with a variety of tablefare uses. Like maybe when the cheese and crackers come out with the salamis, pepperoni, braunschweiger, and the cold dark beer for supper.
Diver ducks, Mergansers, coots, bad tasting wild hogs or their leg parts, porcupine, possum, whatever meat that is really not palatable tablefare is a candidate for this process. Or, if it is too sinewy for the grinder, corn it.

Small potato, diced in 1/2" dice, browned in bacon grease, add teaspoon of garlic (from a press), stir in some, 1/2 can of room temp corned beef, stir in and cook until sorta crispy. Serve w/tabasco & ketchup...

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
As j was reading your post I was thinking to my self he must be from the south and low and behold from my neck of the woods but I'm from Ashland, my corn bread recipe is
1C cornmeal
1C self rising flour
1/2 C sugar
1C milk
1 egg
put about 2 table spoons of Crisco in your CAST IRON skillet (about a 8")pre heat oven ton350 an d get your skillet nice and hot pour in your mix (you want it to start cooking on the edges when you pour it in) bake until done around 35-40 min. And you will have the best cornbread ever and by the way I'm 31 and
