Homemade Corned Beef Hash

I noticed that corned beef briskets were on sale at Shaw's a couple of weeks ago so I threw one in our cart.  I had been wanting to make some homemade corned beef hash for a long time and this seemed like the time.  We rarely see corned beef in our supermarket and, when we do see it, it is often priced so highly that I was quick to grab one while it was available at a reasonable price. 

Homemade corned beef hash is actually nothing like the cans of corned beef hash you see on the shelves in the supermarket.  Those cans taste more like deviled ham combined with spam which is nothing like real corned beef hash.  Our supermarket has two brands of canned corned beef hash...  Libby's, which tastes more like cat food and consequently I find inedible and should always be avoided or, Hormel, which tastes more like some deviled ham/spam combo.  I was having a craving for real corned beef hash so I needed to make some myself.

I put the corned beef brisket in the oven on Saturday morning.  It was ready by lunchtime.  After tasting a test slice...  a tender, juicy, mouthwatering slice of corned beef...  I decided that I needed to make myself a corned beef sandwich.  Actually, I could have sat at the table with that brisket in front of me, slicing one slice at a time, eating it, until it was all gone!  Instead, I chose a more reasonable approach and I had a quick sandwich.  After my sandwich, I cut the corned beef into a chunks for making corned beef hash. 

Sunday morning, I fried up some thick sliced hickory smoked bacon.  While the bacon was simmering in the pan, I washed and cut a few potatoes into chunks.  When the bacon was done, I removed it from the pan and dropped in all the potato chunks.  

As the potatoes were frying in the bacon fat, I cut up some onion and green pepper.  I seasoned the potatoes with granulated onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika (sometimes I also add a very little bit of Cayenne pepper, but not this time).  When the potatoes were almost done, I added the onions and green peppers.

After a few minutes, I added the corned beef chunks.  About ten minutes later, the corned beef chunks were heated and the corned beef hash was ready to be eaten.  I've had the leftovers a few mornings this week and it is almost as good as it was on Sunday when I made it.  

I'll have to do this again soon.
