Breakfast just got good thanks to this CORNED BEEF HASH!

Let me set the scene: it’s the weekend and you’ve got a house or cottage full of guests. Waking up early on Saturday or Sunday morning, you’re already thinking about what to make for your hungry crowd. If your weekend guests are anything like mine, and I know they are, they’re going to wake up and think, “Let’s eat!”. Good news! This tried and true recipe for CORNED BEEF HASH never disappoints, in fact, friends and family will ask for it again and again. Yes, it’s that good.

Now, if easy breakfast and brunch recipes are your thing, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s say freshly prepared baked goods are on your list of “love to make”, try these MORNING GLORY MUFFINS, our BLUEBERRY SCONES or these GOOEY CINNAMON BUNS. If tastes run more towards egg dishes, try our HAM AND ASPARAGUS FRITTATA, this EASY EGGS BENEDICT RECIPE or a PERFECT OMELETTE. Then, if you’d rather leave everyone to fend for themselves, make our GLUTEN-FREE GRANOLA, these EASY OVERNIGHT OATS or, a big bowl of HEALTHY FRUIT SALAD.

Back to this feature always a perennial favourite! In a nutshell, we’re heating a big skillet, adding butter and then sautéeing up something so delicious. Let’s face it, if the prospect of a new day doesn’t get ’em out of bed, the aromas of this simple skillet breakfast idea surely will.

Time to make CORNED BEEF HASH!

INGREDIENTS

Taking a look at the above photo has us thinking, “This is going to be easy!” Yup, true story. We’ll go through specifics down below but for now, here’s an overview. Gather up some eggs, potatoes, corned beef, onion and a few additional flavourful ingredients and then, prepare to be amazed. In planning the preparation of this recipe, set aside 10 minutes for the chopping of the different onions, peppers and herbs plus an additional 15 minutes for sautéing. We love it when you can present and prepare a delicious meal in under 30 minutes, total time. Woot!

CORNED BEEF

The principal ingredient in this recipe is corned beef and we’re providing you with a few options for the best corned beef to use in this recipe. First, you can make this family-approved CORNED BEEF DINNER complete with cabbage, carrots and potatoes. Then, the next day, put your leftover corned beef to good use. Simply dice it up into cubes and you’re ready to go. Making this corned beef hash recipe using leftovers yields a hash that’s tender and juicy. It’s also way less messy than making bacon, let’s say. Of course, you can also boil a choice cut of beef in brined saltwater
 spiced with whole peppercorns. Look for ready-to-eat options at your favourite deli counter.  Here’s this recipe’s fun fact – don’t like corned beef? Try this homemade hash recipe using leftover beef brisket. Yummy!

BELL PEPPERS AND JALAPEÑOS

Here’s where we add some additional flavour into this heavenly hash mixture. Bell peppers and jalapeños are a brilliant addition to a classic corned beef hash but they don’t just taste good, they’re good for us too. Check out these nutrition facts. Peppers are loaded with vitamin C, potassium, calcium and fiber. We love dicing them or cutting them into julienne slices. They soften when tossed about in a cast iron skillet. They also deliver a nice hit of natural sweetness to the mix too. Feel free to add different coloured bell peppers to your hash recipe to give the dish a visually pleasing pop of colour. Gimme that pepper love!

SKILLET SKILLS

This is an excellent recipe to test out your wrist-flicking skillet skills – and no, I’m not joking. Because the entire dish comes together in this one large cast iron skillet warmed over medium heat, you’ll have ample time to work on the motion of flicking your wrist. Since we start the recipe with melted unsalted butter, the various ingredients sauté easily. That said, maybe have a spatula ready in case you’d rather stir. One reader asked if you can make hash in an instant pot. We’re not sure, but if that’s your tried and true pan of choice, carry on!

So, now that you have that hot skillet, we add the corned beef, peppers and two additional flavor enhancers, potatoes and freshly chopped parsley. We found Yukon gold potatoes work best as they hold their shape during the sauté. Once everything is cooked in the pan, all that’s left is the finishing touches. They’re up next!

HOW TO MAKE CORNED BEEF HASH TASTE BETTER

I know those of you who usually skip the story and head to ingredients and instructions just did a u-turn. Well, hello there! Yes, there is mayonnaise in this hash recipe. Make sure to watch the VIDEO attached to this post – it’s a secret trick I discovered in a New York diner years ago. After adding it to the pan, toss everything about to coat then finish by seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper.

We did a survey on this post asking readers how they like their EASY CORNED BEEF HASH. Virtually everyone wanted the same thing – a fried egg with oozy yolk and a side of toast. If you like your eggs cheesy add cheddar, Gruyère or a sprinkle of Parmesan. That’s how we like it too, so, happy to oblige. Melt butter, fry up an egg to your liking and serve it next to our delicious hash or famous RÖSTI POTATOES.

This easy meal idea is so tasty, we suggest you PIN the recipe to a favourite breakfast or brunch board on PINTEREST or BOOKMARK this tab for easy access. SHARE it with friends so they can make them too. We’d also appreciate seeing pics of all the delicious dishes you’re making these days. Use #weekendatthecottage when you post those pics on Facebook and Instagram. Thanks!
