I think I've mentioned before that I'm allergic to MSG.
This is my one indulgence to the allergy...
Here's my hack for making it for myself. I take one can of Mary Kitchen (usta be Broadcast) Hash. Take two medium red potatoes diced in to 1/4" cubes, 1/2 cup chopped onion. 1/2 cup cup chopped red or green pepper. Little oil in the pan, starting browning the potato cubes. After the first side browns, flip 'em and add 1/4 cup water to the pan - that'll start boiling them a bit and help hasten the potato cooking time. When potatoes are done in about 10-12 minutes, add onion and peppers and stir till onions are yellowish.
Now - dump the whole can of hash into the pan with the potato mixture, stirring and mixing it until it gets to your desired doneness. I like mine just short of well done so the outside kinda crispy.
Adding the extra potatoes and veggies stretches the contents of the can in to three or four good-sized portions, and it doesn't diminish the flavor of the hash. If anything, it adds another layer of taste and texture to it. There - you got my secret. Try it out for yourself and let us know how it turned out.

That's easily a buck less per
can than anywhere else...

Libby's is a much better brand of corned beef hash.
ReplyDeleteActually, the sodium nitrate/nitrite (aka - curing salt) in ALL corned beef (and way too many other processed meats) is no friend to anyone either.
ReplyDeletesounds good, I have to give it a try. and YEAH. it is the sodium nitrite that does a job on your kidneys bigtime !
ReplyDeletesame deal with a lot of OTC pain meds that we used without thinking. they also hammer your kidneys.
something I found out the hard way. hate to say this, but the damn dope is better/easier on your kidneys
If you have an ALDI store near you, try their store brand Corned Beef Hash. As good as, or better than the "standard" name brand item.
ReplyDeleteI also love the Mary Kitchen brand of CBH and I fit it up much like you do but without the bell pepper.I also usually cook two or three over easy eggs and mix that in when it's done. My wife will fix it for me gladly but will not partake. It's a joke around here. She will ask from time to time, 'do you want Alpo for supper baby?' Ever since the first time she opened a can and she told me that's what it smelt like to her. So now sometimes I just ask for Alpo and eggs.
