Corned beef hash is a classic, so why not spice up your lunchtime with this chilli version? It's easy to make and utterly delicious.
Here's how to make this quick, easy and yummy dish - topped with a fried egg, because that's how it's always served where I grew up! Serves 2.
Ingredients
- 60g (2.12 oz) butter
- 1/2 large onion, chopped
- 200g (7.05 oz) can of Princes Chilli Corned Beef
- 400g (14.1 oz) cooked and diced potatoes (the waxy kind are best)
- Large pinch chilli flakes
- Squeeze of lemon
- 2 eggs
- A little oil, if needed
- Salt and pepper
Method
Melt a third of the butter in a pan and add the chopped onions - fry until soft.
Grab your can of chilli corned beef. I used Princes, which is just beef, salt and spices - no preservatives or other nasties. It's versatile, affordable, and as it's canned, lasts ages so you can have some in the cupboard ready for whenever you fancy it.
Corned beef is easiest to work with if you store it in the fridge for a few hours before using.
Fix the key to the little metal tab and then turn the key clockwise, pushing up slightly as you turn. Work your way around the can.
Peel back the top and squeeze the sides of the tin slightly to release the beef. Cut into cubes.
Add another third of the butter, then add the corned beef, chilli flakes and lemon juice to the pan and fry until deep red. Tip the mix on to a paper towel to drain and heat the remaining butter in the pan.
Season your cooked potato well and add to the pan. Fry until golden.
Add the corned beef mix back into the pan and fry briefly until warmed through. Share between two bowls. Fry two eggs.
Place the eggs on top of the hash and serve immediately.
Easy, right?

Great recipe, I'd never think of cooking with corned beef hash but this looks really appetising! I'll have to give it a go some time. I actually watched your video last night and thought the egg was a bit of a weird combination but I can see how it completes the whole dish. x

I love this recipe - so simple but so delicious looking. And you don't need to add the meat for a vegetarian meal.
