I always buy Libby’s. There are lots of cheaper ones, often in the Hispanic aisle or ethnic stores; but the taste is odd to me
I can’t recall if I’ve ever tried Hormel corned beef, but I think I’ve tried their Hash (called ‘Mary Kitchen’) and that was pretty good.
Get the cans of corned beef nice and cold in fridge before you open the can and try to slice it. (Don’t refrigerate the hash, though.)
Well what about bacon? Have you ever had a non-salty bacon?
The potatoes in corned beef hash makes the hash less salty.
Hahahahahahahahahhaaha!
You’re right. I had some at a restaurant once that was homemade but really wasn’t very good.
I’ve had plenty of corned beef hash from cans, and plenty of SPAM, but haven’t ever tried canned corn beef.
Yep....Corned beef hash from a can with 2 over easy eggs ...best breakfast ever.....
Canned corned beef is just the meat, like a can of spam, canned corn beef hash has potatoes.
And being a perfectionist, it bothered me that it would always fall to pieces as I transferred it to a plate to eat with my Black Fried Eggs on top.
I cook them sunny side up, fried in bacon grease, if possible, otherwise, olive oil, lots of crushed red pepper, ground black pepper, and brown and crispy on the edges!
The ones below still have to fry a few more minutes, but not so much that the yolk solidifies completely...ya gotta have some liquid yolk to go with the crispy corned beef hash!
Then I figured out if I flattened it out on parchment paper, sprayed the top with some vegetable oil, and cooked it in an air fryer for 20 min at 400 degrees, it came out perfect!
That’s correct - animal fat has gotten a bad rap.
LOL! I knew a farmer who cured his own tongue, and carried a big piece in his pocket to slice and eat while he worked. I wasn’t crazy about it, and my husband says he simply can’t eat something that could taste him back :-)
But when corned beef brisket goes on sale in March, we stock up on it for the freezer. It’s one of the few beef roast-type things I still like to eat. (The pressure cooker makes fast work of it, but I’m not sure the taste is quite as good as the long stove-top cooking.)
The crispy bits are the best!
Thanks for linking to that.
You make a good point, but a lot of that renders out with the fat. I’ll give it another try. But I will also look to buy some real corned beef at Costco before St. Patrick’s Day!
I remember corned beef hash (in a can) when I was a kid. it was pretty good. I tried some this year and it was terrible. I don’t know if my taste buds changed or it was a different brand but I’m passing on the CBH in a can.

I would comfortably eat a 10-year-old can of corned beef that has been stored at room temps, same with spam, and I have eaten plenty of 10-year-old canned foods.
In the army, we used to eat 20-year-old cans of food.
No corn? Can I sue the manufacturer?
Hi.
I had to bump this.

Yes I know that, be it corned beef hash from a can, or my mom making her own, with canned corned beef, and her own diced potatoes.
The canned version was better.
God bless my Mother's soul.
I think our tastes probably do change a lot. I can’t eat a lot of sweet stuff I used to like anymore - it’s just TOO sweet. Same with a lot of salty things, especially prepared foods I liked as a kid.
Something I loved as a kid was the canned ‘Sloppy Joe’ that you added ground beef too. Now it’s too sweet. I’ve wondered if they changed it, or if I changed.
