No canned for us! But, canned is cooked and ready to go.When people talk about Corned Beef, are they usually referring to canned or a huge chunk of beef that has been seasoned and needs cooking.
That's how my mom would do it using leftovers.Growing up, Hash, in our family - a guaranteed favourite, fight for the last spoonful, was the left over Roast Beef from Sunday's dinner.
Put thru the meat grinder, then an onion thru the grinder, then the left over boiled potatoes into the grinder!
Fried in the Cast Iron skillet, turned about til there were crispy pieces here and there.
I'm not sure what else she added to it. I could never replicate it.
Served with ketchup for the kids and A1 sauce for the others. Don't ever remember seeing an egg on it.
For me, it depends on what I have on-hand. After St. Pat's Day, it is the corned beef leftover two days or so after the green decorations have faded. I've used canned corned beef, but the St. Pat's leftover corned beef is definitely better. Momma made hash out of leftover roast, etc. It was always good!When people talk about Corned Beef, are they usually referring to canned or a huge chunk of beef that has been seasoned and needs cooking.
And bacon if you have some, but even just cooking it in bacon fat makes it extra tasty.Maybe you're looking at a bad recipe. There should be nothing complicated about making hash.
Corned beef, potato, onion in a skillet.
If she used roast beef then it wasn't corned beef hashThat's how my mom would do it using leftovers.
Roast or a chuck roast.
If she didn't have left over potatoes fresh was used.
She would also use the left over gravy. Mixed it all in. Made some biscuits and a salad. Her cooking method at the time was using 2 large electric frying pans.
Hash is more of a template, than a strict recipe. There's potatoes (cooked or raw), onions, and usually previously cooked meat or fish and black pepper. There can be additions of other vegis and added herbs, spices, and other seasonings. Some people like a sunny side egg on top. When you make hash using corned beef it is called corned beef hash.
Our grandmothers would be shocked and amused to find us discussing recipes for a simple scrappy meal like hash.
When the grocery budget was sinking for the third time my mother used to make a skillet meal with ground beef, onions, potatoes, and corn that resembled hash and was served with plenty of ketchup.
