Corned Beef Hash

[shaner]

I created a new dish Sunday. I love Brussels sprouts. Normally I fix them with bacon or ham or smoked sausage. Onions garlic. Fried till good and brown around the edges. Well Sunday I decided to use CBH as my meat. turned out very well!

We have Palms CBH here.
It's like the one Costco sells.
Little greasy, but good.
Way I eat it is a bed of hash brown potato's, CBH next, then a sunny side up egg on top.
Two slices of buttered toast, one slice of fried spam and two fried pork sausages.
Eat it, maybe, every other Sunday.

Sounds dang good!

I core sprouts, add a dab of butter and fine chopped bacon to the hole, then smoke them!

I used to tease a girlfriend, years ago, that she was showing me pictures of "food porn"; She was REALLY a good cook. I've been more just making "food that'll feed me" LOL - That sounds pretty darn nice, MaryB. Drool-worthy

[MaryB]

I make them for company(makes to many for just myself)They don't need a lot of smoke so I cover with foil to finish at which point they can come into the house and the oven if you need smoker space for something else.

Thought I'd post a picture of what I posted a while back. Brussels sprouts in CBH. garlic. vandalia onions. Cooked till hash is browned

OK, got done with my unscientific taste testing.

MK, to my unsophisticated palate, the Mary Kitchen was the best, nice sized pieces of corned beef and potatoes, not greasy, fried up easily with a nice crust.

Libbys, Was greasy, but the can I had wasn't too bad. Good taste, fried up nice with a good crust.

Armour, Was a bit disappointed, corned beef and potatoes were cut very small, didn't fry up good, kind of mushy, just an ok taste, needed more seasoning.

Hartford House (never heard of them before), cut almost like it was run through a food processor, to get it not to stick to the pan you had to fry it medium heat and not touch it until it wanted to release on it's own. If you went with a high heat, it would stick and burn and if you tried to turn it it was like mush. That said, Once I got it done it didn't taste bad, just was mushy.

Great Value (Wal-Mart store brand), surprised me, meat and potatoes were nice sized, not greasy, fried up nice and crisp pretty easily, good flavor but could have used a bit more seasoning.

Overall, I liked Mary Kitchen the best. They also make a very good sausage hash, really good taste and if you wanted to put it in a cream gravy, it would be very good over biscuits. Libbys wasn't bad but a bit too much grease. Great Value was the surprise to me, what I had was pretty good other than the lack of seasoning.

Best was my own homemade because I can control the size of the meat and potatoes (and the type of potatoes used - Yukon Gold are good in hash).

I will probably keep some MK (both kinds) in the pantry but wouldn't hesitate to get the Great Value if needed.

There you go, my taste test. Here it comes: Your tastes may be different than mine so "caveat emptor"

shaner,
Words fail me, but your taste's. I will fall back on the teachings of my youth.
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Thanks, for the nice review! Appreciate your taking the time!

Yeah, it was tough eating those different hashes with nice fried eggs (cooked with bacon grease), sourdough toast and coffee but by golly, I prevailed! (as did the wife)

i'm a bachelor for a few days. think i'll whip up a plateful. thanks. have to locate some "mary's" corned beef. hope wally world has it.

[MaryB]

Might have to try the Great Value... I can always add seasoning. It is probably quite a bit cheaper than my standby MK that I have a dozen cans in the pantry...

where do you buy "Mary's" cbh? I made the brussel sprouts cbh dish this morning. I love it. I used walley-world cbh and it was good. this is a keeper.

[shaner]

I get mine at dollar general. Glad you enjoyed the recipe!

All Kroger/Ralphs carry MK C/B hash, at least in the southwest. So does TARGET & WALGREENS. And it's a lot cheaper then Ralph's.
And if you buy it at WALGREENS, there is no chance of getting those gross brussel sprout thingy's in your basket.

OK little bit of a twist on CBH. Sunday I fixed a nice pot roast for dinner. It had potatoes onions carrots garlic and a beef roast. So Monday night I had left overs and finished up the beef .but had several carrots onions potatoes. So I've always liked when I was a kid mom made the same roasts but always made extra everything ( beef roasts used to be cheap as we all remember? ) she would b use the hand meat grinder to make a hash out of the left overs. so I decided to experiment. So I diced up the left over veggies and some of the juice and added the roast beef hash to it. Fried it till it started to get crispy. It's not like mom's but by golly it was very tasty!
Just another recipe for someone. Beats the hell out of McDonald's lol

I think that a lot of people (but not on this thread) really don't know what the food "hash" is. It's really nothing more than a dish made of any cooked meat cut into small pieces and cooked again, usually with potatoes (and/or other vegetables). Granted the one most people hear about and purchase is corned beef hash, but it can actually be made with any meat and vegetables.

I've made "hashs" with roast beef, left over steak, chicken, turkey, sausage, ham and even bologna. I bought a small slab of bologna at the store, diced it up, diced up some potatoes and tossed some seasonings in and fried it up. Had it with some pork&beans and garlic bread and sweet tea. The kids (then age 12 and 14) would not even try it. Mom did just to please me but she said it didn't really please her palate (she did not like it either). I loved it.
