Corned Beef Hash

by David Hosea in
Preparation Time: 5 minutesCooking Time: 12 minutes

This is one of the recipes we go to when we want a hot, quick, and easy meal. There are only a few ingredients and except for the garnishes, all the prep is done in advance. This recipe serves two.

We keep diced onions in the fridge, so we will grab what we need for this dish and leave the rest for something else. When grocery shopping, we will go to the meat counter and ask for a single slice of corned beef about 1/4 inch thick. It only takes a minute to dice the slice when I get home and I’ll freeze the cubes so the corned beef is ready whenever we need it (Plan-to-Eat reminds me to defrost in the fridge the night before).

We also keep a couple cans of diced potatoes in the pantry so we just need to open a can, rinse it, and add it to the skillet. Finally, we sometimes keep a small bag of frozen, diced butternut squash in the freezer as well.

This is an easy, quick recipe. We only need to open a couple of bags, a can, throw the veggies and meat into a skillet for a few minutes, and add a couple of eggs. The runny yolks create a tasty sauce.
