Helpful hint; While you are waiting for the skillet to heat up, place the open can in the skillet. This melts the fat at the bottom and it slides out so easy!
That's an interesting tip !! When I was a kid, my parents can-opened both the top and bottom so they could "push" the contents out ... but your idea may solve the modern problem where you can only open the top !!
My favorite is Hormel. It tastes as close to homemade as I have had. However it still looks like Alpo dog food, so much so that when I would open the can both the dog and cat (who thought he was a dog) would come running.
Okay, a hint I found in a very old cook book with canned corned beef. Take a tablespoon of diced onion fry on tiny amount of butter or cooking oil, then mix in a Tablespoon of whole milk and the hash. The milk makes it crispier and the onion adds a little flavor.
@@norskibull2.021 okay you know what I don't like cbh never did but I did think of onions and garlic and mozzarella cheese and green peppers mixed in with it to give it a shot never bought it in my life and never ate it when mom's made it but since you and the majority says Libby's is the one to buy I'll give it a shot with the accessories I mentioned
Reading through the comments makes me really happy. Growing up my Grandpa always made us corn beef it was Libby's in a square can. And instead of dicing the potatoes he always cubed them into larger pieces, as an adult I've learned that it's a lot easier to cook with diced potatoes but for me I always cube them as a way of remembering him now that he's passed. Thanks for posting the video and cheers to everyone in the comments, I'm definitely taking some notes on new options.
i had my moms recipe (made by my sister) last week... we also chop the taters a little larger... it was always a dinner dish for us and we eat it with ketchup... goes really well with the crispy taters and corned beef... i have never had the canned version but now id like to try some :)
Most companies that make products like this buy pre-diced frozen potatoes from the same supplier, Simplot, in 50 lb bags. That's why the potatoes in different brands of corned beef hash all look the same. I learned this when I worked for a freeze-dried food manufacturer long ago. Simplot sells smaller bags in grocery stores now, but I cut whole potatoes larger when I make it too. Seems homier somehow.
@@mikesphat I use a leftover baked potato cut into rough cubes, skin on. Dice an onion, sautee with some thyme and rosemary a pinch of salt and when it starts to brown add the potatoes, fresh-ground black pepper and continue the sautee until the potatoes start to break down and brown, add diced deli-sliced corned beef (once corned beef is sealed in a can, it should stay there, likewise canned corned beef hash), toss and allow it to brown, turn and brown some more, serve topped with a poached egg.
My dad was an organic chemist and consultant to the food industry. In the 70s, the FDA hired him to do a series of seminars for people who taught meat inspectors. First, they flew him around the country to take notes on seven different meat packing facilities. He said that by far, the cleanest and best run organization was Hebrew National, and the absolute worst was Hormel.
I worked for Hormel on the 80s. I'm sorry. I made the thing they called "Top Shelf" but now call Hormel Compleats. Canned meals in a plastic tray canned like regular canned food but in a high temp plastic tray. We thought it was good but they wanted shelf stable good meals for Desert Storm when I was there. My mom said she liked compleats one day and I told her I worked there a long time ago but she has no memory of me working for Hormel. Must have blocked it out. I worked nights at Hormel and days for like 6 different famers making hay which she remembers but not Hormel. My friends made Hormel at night and Jenio turkey loafs during the day and they said they were worse but I loved them. I wish they still made them.
As a purveyor of cheap, quick, delicious meals with epic shelf life (A.K.A. a broke, busy dad with picky kids who love and want corned beef hash at a moment’s notice), this video was unbelievably helpful for finding a meantime-in-between-time solution when we don’t have leftover corned beef brisket and potatoes. Thank you!
Larry, seriously thank you for doing this. You are by far my favorite youtuber. You made my wish come true. It took a lot of comments but you did it and that says a lot about you. Thank you.
I'm just gonna say, for corned beef hash at home, you gotta cook it way longer to get it really crispy like they do at diners and such. The stoves in diners and restaurants have a much higher BTU, so they can get that hash crispy in 5-10 minutes. On a home stove it takes much longer. I usually cook it for about 12-15 minutes on medium high, flip it, and then do it for 12-15 more minutes. Yes, that's like 30 minutes just for hash, but it turns out super crispy, just like you get at a diner.
Hormel was always my go to as a kid to fry up with some eggs, as my parents left for work early and I was left to myself for breakfast. Some hash and eggs beat cereal every day. In fact, it's still a running gag between me and my grandmother, who gives me a can on certian special occasions. She grew up during the depression, so her recipes were simple and easy for me to learn... and probably why I enjoy watching your channel as well. I've since learned to cook all fancy, but I still keep a stockpile of corned beef hash in case of emergency ;) oh, and some green peppers from the garden (or canned earlier in the season) with the eggs really balances out the flavor of the meal altogether.
We love Corned beef hash in our house! Even my daughter's boyfriend loves it! Our favorite is the Great Value brand version. We have tried them all and have found this one to be the best. Thanks again Larry for taking one for the team! We appreciate you!
I grew up on this with a fried egg and toast in the 70's. I haven't had it in 40 years. But damn, I loved it. I'm pretty sure Libby was the brand my Mom bought. It's so GOOD!
I can finally realize my dream of growing into an adult man, and watching another full grown man eat 4 cans of corned beef hash, at a distance, on demand.
Mr and Mrs Wolfepit, you guys are awesome. Thank you for all of the wonderful videos. I appreciate your use of the most technical terms, “crispification” and “brownification” which are rarely heard on lesser channels.
A couple of my Asian friends told me they eat corned bf hash mixed in their white sticky rice. I was skeptical but open to trying it...and omg its amazing!! My husband LOVES it! So simple to make especially if you have a rice cooker.
I would prefer to use just Corned Beef not hash on rice. Put in some additional green peace and sweet corn and a bit of curry powder for the additional flavor and just with rice. Also fry it with some deep fried onions for additional sweetness.
Great video Larry 😊. One thing I add to the premade corned beef hash is a little bit of (good brand) chili powder. Sometimes I make sorta homemade corned beef hash using a can of premade corned beef, and a can of sliced potatoes (that I dice up) & add more flavor to.
A good recipie: Fry corned beef with white onions black pepper green chillies, grate carrots and fry with white onion black pepper and green chillies, serve with rice. Garnish with lemon or lime juice and chopped coriander. cheap easy to make tasty and filling. Thank you for all the superb videos over the years Mr Wolfe Pit. Merry Christmas everyone from England 🇬🇧✌
Before the first tasting I knew the Libby's was gonna come out on top. You can't beat transparent quality. Even if it's subpar food in general. Thanks for the info WolfePit!
A couple of years ago I realized that I hadn't eaten a childhood favorite, corned beef hash, in a long time, so I set out to rediscover it...and after a few tries I came to the same conclusion as you...Libbys was the brand that tasted the way I expected...you know, like corned beef.
As someone who use to work for a company who made products for Food Lion, I can 100% confirm its the exact same product just in a different container, or in this case a different label. we used the exact same process, and ingredients to make the Food Lion products. we just swapped out the labels. We would even use any excess of the last name brand run for Food Lion.
@MichaelTheophilus906 tbh, no clue. I live in the south. When I had that job, I was living in WI. I've never seen a Food Lion, so it's east or west coast. Maybe mid mid west tbh.
There was a documentary about that, something about pineapple. I know milk and bread just slap a different label or packaging. Brown's Buns in Detroit makes buns for the Tigers and Red Wings and Lions. It's also "makes" Walmart brand
Libby’s is always my go to for canned corn beef hash! (If you guys are ever in Atlanta, the Landmark Diner here makes some incredible corned beef hash!).
I've always had the eggs mixed in with the hash. Love it that way. Put the hash in a pan and heat it until it reaches the point of sizzling, but not quite browning. Add 2 eggs for a small can, 3 or 4 for a big can, depending on taste, then keep mixing while cooking until the mixture become crumbly. yummy. Slap it on a tortilla with a piece of american cheese, and it makes for a great breakfast.
This is one of the most informative videos I've watched lately. I would like a corned beef/roast beef hash comparison. That was my dilemma the other day. Regarding pumpkin pie, my grandma always said never use anything but Libby.
I was raised on "Mary Kitchen" ... now I'm going to have to seek out some Libbys. Thanks, Larry; I've been watching your for a couple years now, and I love these "nostalgia" vids. 👏
@@kirbyculp3449 Just had my 'annual' dose of MK corned beef hash while camping. Maybe it's the cooler weather while camping that adds to the satisfaction. Didn't note any loss of corned beef taste. Didn't try the cheaper off brand offered at the store. I presumed the quality would be way lower.
I am 72 years old and have eaten all of the brands of hash you have covered. A couple of years ago I discovered by accident while shopping at Smart and Final in my town their brand, First Street homestyle corned beef hash. It has been the best of all the others we have eaten. It is not greasy and has been very consistent in the flavor and texture which is more than I can say about any other brand. I have gotten some of the other brands that have been as much as 1/3 grease at times.
I also shop at a Smart & Final and find most of the First Street store brands awful. Except p-nut butter. But now I will TRY their corned beef hash. IMO, most store brands in other markets are generally sub par. Just as most everything from the 99 cent store is poor quality.
I found First Street Corned beef and Roast beef hash at our local Grocery Outlet. The checkout counter wondered about me when I bought out nearly the entire inventory. No regrets! I hope they get it back as I'm running through it quickly.
Gordon Food Service has a 50oz. can (Hearthstone brand) that tastes amazing. I cut out both ends, slide it out, and slice into patties. Very finely dice some onion & green pepper, saute until soft, press into the patty. I fry it up in ghee, which has a high smoke point (no burning) and get a buttery - not greasy flavor. * ghee is shelf stable rendered/clarified butter with no milk solids. Aldi carries it. You can get it at an Indian grocery store, too. Lasts a long time. Try frying scrambled eggs in it..yum! Very buttery.
One of my favorite ways to eat corned beef hash is to scramble an egg into it while it's cooking with a little bit of fresh or pickled jalapenos chopped up with some raw onion
I line a shallow sheet pan with non stick aluminum foil and spread the LIBBY'S corned beef in an even layer. Baked in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F for 24 minutes it is crispy and delicious.
I got here ten days late, and saw that there were well over 1,000 comments, so I started reading them before watching the video. I am amazed at all the interesting, literate, and humorous responses there are. In fact, I'm still reading them, they are making me happy. Maybe I'll get around to the video, I do like corned beef hash.
Okay, I finally watched the video. Then I checked my stash of canned goods. I have three cans of the Armour Hearty Homestyle. I'll be fixing one for breakfast tomorrow. I also have one can of corned beef, not hash, that comes in a rectangular can with an attached key to open it. It's Clover Valley brand from Dollar General, and made in Brazil. I guess you could add your own cooked diced potatoes. I'll also be buying the Libby's next time.
Yes. This is the quality content I crave. We were team Libby's growing up, but I have found Kroger store brand to have much more robust meaty flavor, we get a couple of cans a week, pair with Kroger diced skin on yellow potatoes and it beats any pre-made hash out there.
I can't tell you how many times, in all of the taste test videos that I saw, all of the Kroger brands came out at, or very near the top. The commenters backed up the findings too.
Kroger, at my Food Lion, has a very good canned dried Limas. The brown ones some call butterbeans. Their seasoning makes it good. I love them. Used to help my Mother and her sisters out in a farmers field picking the green ones, or other beans like Black eyed peas, then coming home to shell them. After that, your thumbs would be red and sore. I'd give anything to be sitting around doing that now, I miss my family from 55 years ago.💖💖💞💞
Lol I cook mine for like a half hour on medium with onions and a shit ton of pepper. I need a LOT of crispy brown parts. And of course some sunny side up eggs and toast😋
Reminds me of a line from _Carry On, Cleo._ British captives being auctioned in a Roman slave market. "Humiliating! Being knocked down!" "It's better than being knocked up."
Processed food is pretty lousy these days. The other day I was driving and felt like a snack, so bought one of those Hostess Fruit Pies. Absolutely horrid. 90% just sickeningly sweet gooey syrup with a few small pieces of dehydrated apple. I admit I haven't had one in years. Back in the day the filling was mostly apples. Hostess oughta stop making these things...they are absolutely disgusting.
Little Debbie is way way better. Hostess got way too artificial and gross. I legitimately can’t eat twinkies anymore because they taste too artificial. I don’t enjoy eating them anymore. Yuck.
Wolfe, I know this isn't necessarily budget-friendly, but if you have Boar's Head in your local deli, get about a 1/2" slice, cube it up and make a hash with potatoes and onions, and use your favorite binding agent to keep it all together. The texture and flavor will be a treat, when all is said and done.
I'm in the Mary's Kitchen (Hormel) camp here, and eat it somewhat regularly as I have my whole life. That cast iron pan really seems to speed up and help the crusting. I think I stir mine to often :O , so thanks for making this vid!. Beyond the egg, I love browning up some onion and green peppers to mix in there. Breakfast of champions!
Back in the day, Broadcast corned beef was my favorite. I'm going to have to try Libbys over the Hormel I've been subjecting my self to recently. Thanks for the excellent service you provide!
I’ve had two of these brands tested. I’m always looking for other brands to taste and the brand I keep going back to is Aldi’s corned beef hash. It’s the best I’ve tried and it’s at a great price. Keep about a dozen cans in the pantry for quick meals. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
I totally agree with you. I actually came here to see if anyone said this and TA-DA here you are. I also like their dry onion soup mix better than any other one.
Great review. Instead of dumping whole can out. I open both ends of can. And push it out cutting into 1” thick rings. A good serving size. Much like you would do with brown bread. I also fry in butter vs oil as it tastes better. Just my opinion but everyone is different.
Libby's is my favorite hands down! Has been my go-to for years. I usually fry up a couple of sunnyside up eggs and mash it into the hash, with a slice of toast with butter on the side, good stuff! 😀
The “sauce” I think you might be referring to is congealed fat. That said I watched your whole video. Sometimes the old brain needs a rest from the world and why not watch a guy rate corned beef hash. 👍
I agree completely! As I watched this on April 12th, 2022 the corned beef hash review was bracketed by a human interest piece telling the story of a young mother who wrote her daughter's name and personal information on her back before fleeing her home in Ukraine in the hopes that if the girl was orphaned someone would be able to reunite her with family... and a report of the first NATO aircraft losses in the Russian-Ukraine war.
We never had corned beef hash when I was a kid. I was an adult when I finally tried some for myself. I remember seeing Gilligan feeding it to the lion and had no idea what it was.
The one thing I learned from this is that I definitely overcook my corned beef hash. I've been flipping and stirring so that it was crispy all throughout. Still tasted delicious, especially on toast. Might have to try cooking it your way.
Funny, I thought just the opposite. Under cooked corned beef gives all corned beef a bad name. From what I saw in this video, he was about half way to done.
My mother used to cut the lids open on end and use one end (like a Push-pop) to slide the corn beef out one end and slice it as she did, making perfectly shape corned beef patties.
If you refrigerate the cans beforehand, it is possible to remove both ends of the can and push the hash out like a log. Easy to slice patties and dredge with flour before cooking in a little more oil. Adds to the crispness.
I've always found Armour more salty that other brands. I usually go with Hormel, I like the crispy turnout. BTW, you have inspired me to use cast iron on a glass top! I was always hesitant to try that.
Im pretty sure as long as you arent like putting it on high and leaving for half an hour, its fine. I guess the issue is that in the crazy rare situation where you do that by accident, the consequences are dire
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 I thought the main thing was it really scratching the top if you forget and try to slide it like a regular pan. I don't think any modern glass top at least should have a problem like exploding from it though.
@@jacksmith-vs4ct I think it was supposed to like fuse to the glass top? Honestly it probably happened like 4 times and now its an urban legend your stove will explode
When i make it i put the hash in the fridge for about an hour then i slice it into patties then put the slices into a skillet with enough oil to cover them cook them over medium heat add sliced onion and garlic powder when done drain them in colander with several layers of paper towels been doing it for years
Considered doing a 'beat the brands' to make something tastier at as similar or cheaper cost as possible? That'd be interesting to watch, sure you and Mrs wolfepit could beat the blands!
Going heavier on the cooking oil gives you more crust. Also, you can chop up an onion and fry it alongside your hash, and add a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and MSG to make the whole thing even tastier. I'll sometimes round it out by frying some slices of stewed tomatoes alongside as well, though those need to be fried for much longer than the hash does in order to develop the char you want to see on a tomato slice. The corned beef hash I favor is the Aldi store brand "Brookdale" corned beef hash, in large part on cost.
Thanks, I'll be getting some of the Libby's. We grew up with corned beef hash from cans. However, at my parents' home, they baked it in casserole dishes, with perhaps some tomato paste atop - and even an egg (sometimes) Thanks for doing this taste comparison, so I don't have to! (I am old enough to realize that the recipes for the brands have changed over time!)
I cut both ends of the can and push the hash out with the bottom lid; I then slice it into pattys and fry it up; I serve it up on an english muffin with an egg; a hash McMuffin
I never thought the Libby's brand would taste better overall. I've eaten the Hormel brand corned beef hash for many years, and had no problems with it. I'll have to give the Libby's brand one another chance someday. I cook my corned beef hash way differently than you do. I know you're not supposed to mix it while cooking, but that's what I do. I like the corned beef to have the texture of bacon bits and the potatoes cooked almost crispy. I like it that way.
Yeah me too I've never smashed it down and let it get crispy, I've always stirred it up and just heated it and then plate it with eggs on top of the side with buttered toast.
@@philliparthur8672 See, i never bothered with the eggs on top because I like mine scrambled or runny over-easy by themselves so I can mop up the yolk with buttered toast.
@@bradleyheck7204 definitely not a wrong way to go, I've had fried, scrambled, poached you name it now my daughter wants it on top of the hash because she loves the yoke and hash together and after trying it I do too. Its definitely her favorite breakfast.
Just to let everyone out there understand....most brands like great value,, are usually same as a name brand but they have a contract for name like great value,...you remember A&P and their store brand?? A&P is. The Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. I was a Distribution Education student at Wilbur Wright Senior Technical School in Detroit back in the sixites...(retail,sales,marketing advertising--- we were taught every aspect of advertising, salesmanship, took bookkeeping, typing newspaper ads, window display..Store brands usually are sold less customer buys these thinking the store or company is knows many will either pay less or in some cases more because it doesn't have that big corporation name.....LIKE I SAID A&P ,Kroger, Great Value, Aiden, the Smart Buy Best Choice ect is usually deal made with producers...same are exact some are a variation
I tried this for the first time this morning. I had the hormel and you're right it just tasted like beef and not really corned beef. I did enjoy the flavor and texture thanks to your cooking tips. The crispiness was great and the potatoes were popping like sniper shots. I had some eggs and toast and I am a very happy guy. I'm going to look for the libbys next time. Thanks again for the pro tips
Hormel makes Great Value (Walmart) and Brookdale (Aldi) so they probably do Food Lion also. If you look for the est number stamped on the can, that is the plant it came from. I eat the GV kind all the time with a couple of sunny side up eggs.
Hormel's always been my favorite I've tried a couple others but can't recall exactly which ones I'll have to try Libby's I guess I did notice that it's alot more expensive than it used to be. Not just because of inflation. Even before that
Hash is so easy to make from leftovers. Ive used roast corned beef i just run it through a corse meat grinder followed by potatoes & onion mix with whatever seasonings you want & fry it up in butter my favorite or oil. Serve with eggs cooked any way you like.
I always add a tablespoon or two of chopped onion to cook with my corned beef hash as it heats up. The grease in the hash lets to the onion soften as it cooks. Sooooo good!
Like your videos. I worked for Carnation for 10 years. Any US company that cans meat for human consumption has to be USDA inspected. They are assigned an ":Establishment Code". Carnation's was 705. It will be stamped on one end of the can. So regardless of label or brand, everything coming out of that plant will have the same est code. By-the-way, Libby's in Nestle, who also bought Carnation in 1986.
Thank you for a great video. Now let me give you a tip. Before you open the can turn it upside down and punch a small hole in the bottom near the edge. Now open the can as normal and hold it upside down over your skillet and blow in the hole sealing your lips tight against the can. 100% of the hash just slides out in one piece into the HOT skillet. Art from Ohio
Sounds stupid but I love listening to this channel while going to the gym. That intro song pumps me up and your voice gives me the extra energy I need for that last rep I'm at the gym right now
Luv corned beef hash and eggs. I add diced frozen seasoning blend ( green,red peppers,onion and celery) to the hash. Gives it great added taste. Gotta be crispy, there's the flavor.......
I've been cooking mine in the air fryer for about a year. Line the lower rack with foil, lightly coat with avacado oil and spread out the hash. Cook at 400* for 10 minutes, then stir/flip and cook 8 more minutes. The minimal interaction required gives me time to make the coffee and eggs so everything is done about the same time. I use the Mary Kitchen hash and hit it with a little SPOGB (salt, pepper, onion, garlic, & powdered butter). My favorite corned beef has was at the Cracker Barrel, but they no longer have it on the menu.... I may have to give Libby's a try now
I knew that Libby's was going to be the best. I'm not a big fan of their veggie line, but their canned meals and meats beat Armour and Hormel ANY DAY. I buy Libby's Country Sausage Gravy by the case. Back when I could eat anything, I'd go through a case every 6 or so weeks. Now, a year lol. (But I'm also down 125 pounds.) Libby's line isn't just salty, it legit has flavor. Love the hash, love the gravy. For the gravy I will fry up some skillet potatoes with onions and smother them. And with hash, I'll get it crisp, then scramble me an egg, and then toss it all together to make a "bowl" as restaurants like to call it today. Back 30 years ago, my mom just called it "lazy." Either way, it's cheap. Flavorful. And filling.
I like to put an open can on the low burner to let the grease melt. When it bubbles up the sides of the can, the goodness will easily slide out of the can.
Back in the ‘60’s, my Mom and Dad would cook corned beef for St. Patrick’s day. The next day, my Mon would break out the meat grinder and grind the left over corned beef then put the potato thru the grinder. She would mix the two together, add some extra seasonings (don’t remember what they were) stick it in the fridge then have it the next morning, crisped up with over easy fried eggs and a couple of pieces of toast. Made great breakfast sandwich. It was the BEST!
Regarding whether the store brand is made by Hormel: As a meat product, aren’t the cans required to have a production facility code on them? (I think there’s a USDA identification code for each plant.) If so, the two cans would have the same facility code. Doesn’t guarantee it’s the same recipe (though it’s likely), but does tell you who made it. I also think there’s a website where one can look up the codes.
I usually use the armour one, and like the more moisture aspect. But because i cook it way longer. I usually add a bunch of ingredients and spices, and cook for a cook half hour on a medium heat. Doing it that way, the extra moisture helps when cooking it longer which makes a lot of the flavors come out more than they otherwise would have. The libbys one is better if you do a quicker higher heat cook. But for what i do, i do prefer the armour one. The hormel i find to worse than the others, using no matter how you cook it.
Well, I don't really have much choice, since my Safeway only carries the Hormel, Hormel low salt, and generic Safeway brand (which looks like Hormel but is a dollar cheaper). I'm thinking about using the generic version as filling for homemade ravioli. :-)

Pulitzer material certainly.
Strongly agree
Helpful hint; While you are waiting for the skillet to heat up, place the open can in the skillet. This melts the fat at the bottom and it slides out so easy!
Great tip! Try not to burn yoursef
That's an interesting tip !! When I was a kid, my parents can-opened both the top and bottom so they could "push" the contents out ... but your idea may solve the modern problem where you can only open the top !!
I just squeeze the sides of the can and shake it and the whole thing slides out with a nice sound when it lands
This is very dangerous and could result in thee can exploding.
@@-Xaverius being dumb can result in a worse outcome. You place an open can on the skillet.
My favorite is Hormel. It tastes as close to homemade as I have had. However it still looks like Alpo dog food, so much so that when I would open the can both the dog and cat (who thought he was a dog) would come running.
That’s the secret. DO NOT LOOK AT IT in the can!
🤪
LOL 😂
@@peoplethesedaysberetarded so true.
I know! Right! The pets could be right! Lol!
Lol!!!
Okay, a hint I found in a very old cook book with canned corned beef. Take a tablespoon of diced onion fry on tiny amount of butter or cooking oil, then mix in a Tablespoon of whole milk and the hash. The milk makes it crispier and the onion adds a little flavor.
And a little bit of jalapeño
Onions are a great seasoning with most foods 👍
Sriracha sauce is good to add corned beef hash 😋
@@richardcarden4161😊
i use half and half or heavy cream :)
I like the Mary Kitchen brand Roast Beef Hash. Delicious.
I just spent 8 minutes watching a man cook and eat corned beef. And I regret nothing!
And when you factor in all of the advanced technology that went into the ability to do so, it’s extra amazing.
Me too. And I don't think corned beef hash is even a thing where I live.

@@norskibull2.021 okay you know what I don't like cbh never did but I did think of onions and garlic and mozzarella cheese and green peppers mixed in with it to give it a shot never bought it in my life and never ate it when mom's made it but since you and the majority says Libby's is the one to buy I'll give it a shot with the accessories I mentioned
Reading through the comments makes me really happy. Growing up my Grandpa always made us corn beef it was Libby's in a square can. And instead of dicing the potatoes he always cubed them into larger pieces, as an adult I've learned that it's a lot easier to cook with diced potatoes but for me I always cube them as a way of remembering him now that he's passed.
Thanks for posting the video and cheers to everyone in the comments, I'm definitely taking some notes on new options.
i had my moms recipe (made by my sister) last week... we also chop the taters a little larger... it was always a dinner dish for us and we eat it with ketchup... goes really well with the crispy taters and corned beef... i have never had the canned version but now id like to try some :)
@@mikesphat Much love to you Mike, we also drowned it in Ketchup. Thank you for sharing
Most companies that make products like this buy pre-diced frozen potatoes from the same supplier, Simplot, in 50 lb bags. That's why the potatoes in different brands of corned beef hash all look the same. I learned this when I worked for a freeze-dried food manufacturer long ago.
Simplot sells smaller bags in grocery stores now, but I cut whole potatoes larger when I make it too. Seems homier somehow.
@@mikesphat I use a leftover baked potato cut into rough cubes, skin on.
Dice an onion, sautee with some thyme and rosemary a pinch of salt and when it starts to brown add the potatoes, fresh-ground black pepper and continue the sautee until the potatoes start to break down and brown, add diced deli-sliced corned beef (once corned beef is sealed in a can, it should stay there, likewise canned corned beef hash), toss and allow it to brown, turn and brown some more, serve topped with a poached egg.
OK...I'm confused...What's the difference between diced and cubed?
I've never been disappointed with a Libby's product. Their quality control is worth the extra price. Every time.

@@alexiskiri9693 My mom told me as a kid that was a commercial in like the 1950s.
I will keep this in mind.
I love their sausage and gravy. So good
My dad was an organic chemist and consultant to the food industry. In the 70s, the FDA hired him to do a series of seminars for people who taught meat inspectors. First, they flew him around the country to take notes on seven different meat packing facilities. He said that by far, the cleanest and best run organization was Hebrew National, and the absolute worst was Hormel.
I worked for Hormel on the 80s. I'm sorry. I made the thing they called "Top Shelf" but now call Hormel Compleats. Canned meals in a plastic tray canned like regular canned food but in a high temp plastic tray. We thought it was good but they wanted shelf stable good meals for Desert Storm when I was there. My mom said she liked compleats one day and I told her I worked there a long time ago but she has no memory of me working for Hormel. Must have blocked it out. I worked nights at Hormel and days for like 6 different famers making hay which she remembers but not Hormel. My friends made Hormel at night and Jenio turkey loafs during the day and they said they were worse but I loved them. I wish they still made them.
@@williamrosenow6176. Fascinating story!
Get - Libby.
That was 30 years ago.
Hormel Mary’s kitchen corn beef hash is the best!
Although the low sodium variety is becoming increasingly difficult to find .
As a purveyor of cheap, quick, delicious meals with epic shelf life (A.K.A. a broke, busy dad with picky kids who love and want corned beef hash at a moment’s notice), this video was unbelievably helpful for finding a meantime-in-between-time solution when we don’t have leftover corned beef brisket and potatoes.
Thank you!
Larry, seriously thank you for doing this. You are by far my favorite youtuber. You made my wish come true. It took a lot of comments but you did it and that says a lot about you. Thank you.
I'm just gonna say, for corned beef hash at home, you gotta cook it way longer to get it really crispy like they do at diners and such. The stoves in diners and restaurants have a much higher BTU, so they can get that hash crispy in 5-10 minutes. On a home stove it takes much longer. I usually cook it for about 12-15 minutes on medium high, flip it, and then do it for 12-15 more minutes. Yes, that's like 30 minutes just for hash, but it turns out super crispy, just like you get at a diner.
Thank you
Agree. Don't go as long as you do, but always 20 minutes or more to crisp properly...
I cook Corned Beef in a preheated 400F oven for 22 minutes and it comes out crisp and delicious.
Agrees, as she yells at her phone to “leave it cook!” 😂😂😂❤️
Can't you just broil it?
Hormel was always my go to as a kid to fry up with some eggs, as my parents left for work early and I was left to myself for breakfast. Some hash and eggs beat cereal every day. In fact, it's still a running gag between me and my grandmother, who gives me a can on certian special occasions. She grew up during the depression, so her recipes were simple and easy for me to learn... and probably why I enjoy watching your channel as well. I've since learned to cook all fancy, but I still keep a stockpile of corned beef hash in case of emergency ;) oh, and some green peppers from the garden (or canned earlier in the season) with the eggs really balances out the flavor of the meal altogether.
Fascinating
Corned Beef Hash and Pork and Beans!
Diced onion and green pepper in the pan with the hash. Delicious, I end up wolfing down the entire can 😋
@@kaeam458 yep. I do the same.
Growing up in the1960s, my mother always cooked our corned beef spread on a cookie sheet in the oven. Always crispy and awesome!
I'll have to try that thank you!
That's a great tip, thank you!
Cooking it on a cookie sheet in the oven is a fantastic idea!
Sold!
Bacon works. Why not some corned beef hash
This is how I do it as well!!
We love Corned beef hash in our house! Even my daughter's boyfriend loves it! Our favorite is the Great Value brand version. We have tried them all and have found this one to be the best. Thanks again Larry for taking one for the team! We appreciate you!
Great Value has lots of products that are superior, in my opinion. I usually go with their brand on most stuff, if I'm shopping at Walmart.
@@archstanton4365 We do as well! There are very few name brands that I insist on. One is mayo and the other is cake mix.
@@NoreensKitchenOfficial Mayo and Ketchup here :)

@Paul F they are out a lot. I stock up when it’s on the shelf
I grew up on this with a fried egg and toast in the 70's. I haven't had it in 40 years. But damn, I loved it. I'm pretty sure Libby was the brand my Mom bought. It's so GOOD!

MMM dog food for humans - this ones got potatoes !!! no but i ate this too haha xD sarcasm aside
I can finally realize my dream of growing into an adult man, and watching another full grown man eat 4 cans of corned beef hash, at a distance, on demand.

I was thinking the same thing! Lol 💅
That there is a lady’s hand!
Mr and Mrs Wolfepit, you guys are awesome. Thank you for all of the wonderful videos. I appreciate your use of the most technical terms, “crispification” and “brownification” which are rarely heard on lesser channels.
A couple of my Asian friends told me they eat corned bf hash mixed in their white sticky rice. I was skeptical but open to trying it...and omg its amazing!! My husband LOVES it! So simple to make especially if you have a rice cooker.
works good since the extra starch absorbs the excess salt and balances out the strongly flavored canned meat
Caribbean people eat it this way as well.
the canned corned beef you get at the asian store w/o the potatoes is better tasting also. pure foods or argentine are both superior with the rice
Yes... I grew up eating it with sticky rice and a fried egg on top, too
I would prefer to use just Corned Beef not hash on rice. Put in some additional green peace and sweet corn and a bit of curry powder for the additional flavor and just with rice. Also fry it with some deep fried onions for additional sweetness.
"It was nice & crispy and BLAND". I couldn't help but laugh when you said it like that
onion powder, garlic powder. You do not need to add salt to canned hash.
Crispification is the key. 🤪
Great video Larry 😊. One thing I add to the premade corned beef hash is a little bit of (good brand) chili powder. Sometimes I make sorta homemade corned beef hash using a can of premade corned beef, and a can of sliced potatoes (that I dice up) & add more flavor to.
A good recipie:
Fry corned beef with white onions black pepper green chillies, grate carrots and fry with white onion black pepper and green chillies, serve with rice. Garnish with lemon or lime juice and chopped coriander.
cheap easy to make tasty and filling.
Thank you for all the superb videos over the years Mr Wolfe Pit. Merry Christmas everyone from England 🇬🇧✌
Sounds like SW Hutspot.
Before the first tasting I knew the Libby's was gonna come out on top.
You can't beat transparent quality. Even if it's subpar food in general. Thanks for the info WolfePit!
A couple of years ago I realized that I hadn't eaten a childhood favorite, corned beef hash, in a long time, so I set out to rediscover it...and after a few tries I came to the same conclusion as you...Libbys was the brand that tasted the way I expected...you know, like corned beef.
Actually, it tastes like nitrates, because it has a lot more of them.
Hormel is the best. If you’re a railroad bum: hobo I would recommend other brands
As someone who use to work for a company who made products for Food Lion, I can 100% confirm its the exact same product just in a different container, or in this case a different label. we used the exact same process, and ingredients to make the Food Lion products. we just swapped out the labels. We would even use any excess of the last name brand run for Food Lion.
I like a lot of Food Lion brand items, as some are actually better than name brand, to me anyway.
Thanks for the first hand info!
Yep. And most straight corned beef square-ish cans all come from the same few factories in Brazil and just get different labels & prices
@MichaelTheophilus906 tbh, no clue. I live in the south. When I had that job, I was living in WI. I've never seen a Food Lion, so it's east or west coast. Maybe mid mid west tbh.
There was a documentary about that, something about pineapple. I know milk and bread just slap a different label or packaging. Brown's Buns in Detroit makes buns for the Tigers and Red Wings and Lions. It's also "makes" Walmart brand
If you cut both sides of the corn reef, ash and push the lid through it makes it coming out a lot easier. Later I love corn beef ash
I think your "h" key is starting to go.
Libby’s is always my go to for canned corn beef hash! (If you guys are ever in Atlanta, the Landmark Diner here makes some incredible corned beef hash!).
I've always had the eggs mixed in with the hash. Love it that way.
Put the hash in a pan and heat it until it reaches the point of sizzling, but not quite browning. Add 2 eggs for a small can, 3 or 4 for a big can, depending on taste, then keep mixing while cooking until the mixture become crumbly. yummy.
Slap it on a tortilla with a piece of american cheese, and it makes for a great breakfast.
Great idea
Mmmmm ... having that on a tortilla with cheese, that's GOT to be delicious!
The key is letting get crispy. With an over easy egg with runny yolk. Side of cheese grits with jalapenos. Washed down with a cream soda.
Sounds more like a heart attack breakfast. Best wishes from upstate NY!!!
@@inkfishpete8695 I don't know how long you will live, but what's a couple of years if you can enjoy your favorite food!!
This is one of the most informative videos I've watched lately. I would like a corned beef/roast beef hash comparison. That was my dilemma the other day. Regarding pumpkin pie, my grandma always said never use anything but Libby.
Let's not forget sausage hash.
I prefer roast beef hash, but that's just me.
I was raised on "Mary Kitchen" ... now I'm going to have to seek out some Libbys.
Thanks, Larry; I've been watching your for a couple years now, and I love these "nostalgia" vids. 👏

My kitchen has a spice rack! Some times I feel a bit Sagie or "Italian". I know what spice can make the cheaper ones pop! Cor......
@@kirbyculp3449 Just had my 'annual' dose of MK corned beef hash while camping. Maybe it's the cooler weather while camping that adds to the satisfaction. Didn't note any loss of corned beef taste. Didn't try the cheaper off brand offered at the store. I presumed the quality would be way lower.
I am 72 years old and have eaten all of the brands of hash you have covered. A couple of years ago I discovered by accident while shopping at Smart and Final in my town their brand, First Street homestyle corned beef hash. It has been the best of all the others we have eaten. It is not greasy and has been very consistent in the flavor and texture which is more than I can say about any other brand. I have gotten some of the other brands that have been as much as 1/3 grease at times.
I also shop at a Smart & Final and find most of the First Street store brands awful. Except p-nut butter. But now I will TRY their corned beef hash.
IMO, most store brands in other markets are generally sub par. Just as most everything from the 99 cent store is poor quality.
I found First Street Corned beef and Roast beef hash at our local Grocery Outlet. The checkout counter wondered about me when I bought out nearly the entire inventory. No regrets! I hope they get it back as I'm running through it quickly.
Have you tried Mary Kitchen sausage hash? We really like it. Thank you
Love the Sausage Hash
Gordon Food Service has a 50oz. can (Hearthstone brand) that tastes amazing. I cut out both ends, slide it out, and slice into patties.
Very finely dice some onion & green pepper, saute until soft, press into the patty.
I fry it up in ghee, which has a high smoke point (no burning) and get a buttery - not greasy flavor.
* ghee is shelf stable rendered/clarified butter with no milk solids. Aldi carries it. You can get it at an Indian grocery store, too. Lasts a long time.
Try frying scrambled eggs in it..yum! Very buttery.
My family loves corned beef hash and grits. I add chopped onions, pepper, and a dash of allspice. Gives it extraordinary flavor!
One of my favorite ways to eat corned beef hash is to scramble an egg into it while it's cooking with a little bit of fresh or pickled jalapenos chopped up with some raw onion
I line a shallow sheet pan with non stick aluminum foil and spread the LIBBY'S corned beef in an even layer. Baked in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F for 24 minutes it is crispy and delicious.
So far I like Hormel the best. A lot of the others have a lot of greasy liquid in them. I always add my own home fried potatoes to the mix.
I got here ten days late, and saw that there were well over 1,000 comments, so I started reading them before watching the video. I am amazed at all the interesting, literate, and humorous responses there are. In fact, I'm still reading them, they are making me happy. Maybe I'll get around to the video, I do like corned beef hash.
Okay, I finally watched the video. Then I checked my stash of canned goods. I have three cans of the Armour Hearty Homestyle. I'll be fixing one for breakfast tomorrow. I also have one can of corned beef, not hash, that comes in a rectangular can with an attached key to open it. It's Clover Valley brand from Dollar General, and made in Brazil. I guess you could add your own cooked diced potatoes. I'll also be buying the Libby's next time.
Yes. This is the quality content I crave. We were team Libby's growing up, but I have found Kroger store brand to have much more robust meaty flavor, we get a couple of cans a week, pair with Kroger diced skin on yellow potatoes and it beats any pre-made hash out there.
I can't tell you how many times, in all of the taste test videos that I saw, all of the Kroger brands came out at, or very near the top. The commenters backed up the findings too.
My Kroger (Ralphs) only has Libby and Hormel. 😢 I will use the results of this test and stick to the Libby brand (unless the Kroger shows up).
Hmm, I'm still team Libby especially with Vienna sausages. I will give the Kroger brand a try.
Long as Kroger doesn't add the MSG, they do have some decent items. The sauerkraut has simple ingredients, and is good also.
Kroger, at my Food Lion, has a very good canned dried Limas. The brown ones some call butterbeans. Their seasoning makes it good. I love them. Used to help my Mother and her sisters out in a farmers field picking the green ones, or other beans like Black eyed peas, then coming home to shell them. After that, your thumbs would be red and sore. I'd give anything to be sitting around doing that now, I miss my family from 55 years ago.💖💖💞💞
Lol I cook mine for like a half hour on medium with onions and a shit ton of pepper. I need a LOT of crispy brown parts. And of course some sunny side up eggs and toast😋
Corned Beef Throwdown sure is better than Corned Beef Throw-Up!
Like hash browns my dog crapped out. Brown sauce? Yes...
Not sure there's a difference between that and the stuff that comes in a can lol
Too bad the Aldi label wasn't included.
Reminds me of a line from _Carry On, Cleo._
British captives being auctioned in a Roman slave market.
"Humiliating! Being knocked down!"
"It's better than being knocked up."
😅
Hormel is my jam but I should try Libby's as the salt looks way lower. Usually hit it with some Tobasco sauce to spice it up.
Have you tried it with jalapeño ketchup?
Processed food is pretty lousy these days. The other day I was driving and felt like a snack, so bought one of those Hostess Fruit Pies. Absolutely horrid. 90% just sickeningly sweet gooey syrup with a few small pieces of dehydrated apple. I admit I haven't had one in years. Back in the day the filling was mostly apples. Hostess oughta stop making these things...they are absolutely disgusting.
SAD TRUTH
Little Debbie is way way better. Hostess got way too artificial and gross. I legitimately can’t eat twinkies anymore because they taste too artificial. I don’t enjoy eating them anymore. Yuck.

Wolfe, I know this isn't necessarily budget-friendly, but if you have Boar's Head in your local deli, get about a 1/2" slice, cube it up and make a hash with potatoes and onions, and use your favorite binding agent to keep it all together. The texture and flavor will be a treat, when all is said and done.
I'm in the Mary's Kitchen (Hormel) camp here, and eat it somewhat regularly as I have my whole life. That cast iron pan really seems to speed up and help the crusting. I think I stir mine to often :O , so thanks for making this vid!. Beyond the egg, I love browning up some onion and green peppers to mix in there. Breakfast of champions!
Does it always have a grey color at the bottom of the car when you first open it? I opened 3 and they all had that.
@@Douglass10 Yep
Back in the day, Broadcast corned beef was my favorite. I'm going to have to try Libbys over the Hormel I've been subjecting my self to recently. Thanks for the excellent service you provide!
When I lived in Chicago, Broadcast is what I loved. But they do not make it anymore. ☹️
I’ve had two of these brands tested. I’m always looking for other brands to taste and the brand I keep going back to is Aldi’s corned beef hash. It’s the best I’ve tried and it’s at a great price. Keep about a dozen cans in the pantry for quick meals. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
I totally agree with you. I actually came here to see if anyone said this and TA-DA here you are. I also like their dry onion soup mix better than any other one.
Aldi's has corned beef? Never seen it there
They have both in our store, corned beef by itself and corned beef hash. Both are tasty.
Great review. Instead of dumping whole can out. I open both ends of can. And push it out cutting into 1” thick rings. A good serving size. Much like you would do with brown bread. I also fry in butter vs oil as it tastes better. Just my opinion but everyone is different.
Gonna try that for sure
Libby's is my favorite hands down! Has been my go-to for years. I usually fry up a couple of sunnyside up eggs and mash it into the hash, with a slice of toast with butter on the side, good stuff! 😀
Cholesterol 1000 i guess...! 😀😀😀
The “sauce” I think you might be referring to is congealed fat. That said I watched your whole video. Sometimes the old brain needs a rest from the world and why not watch a guy rate corned beef hash. 👍
I agree completely! As I watched this on April 12th, 2022 the corned beef hash review was bracketed by a human interest piece telling the story of a young mother who wrote her daughter's name and personal information on her back before fleeing her home in Ukraine in the hopes that if the girl was orphaned someone would be able to reunite her with family... and a report of the first NATO aircraft losses in the Russian-Ukraine war.
yes a respit from the world... get them cans now thanks to Joe
For more calming cooking vids I HIGHLY recommend
JACQUES PEPIN. So relaxing.
We never had corned beef hash when I was a kid. I was an adult when I finally tried some for myself. I remember seeing Gilligan feeding it to the lion and had no idea what it was.
Thanks for hashing this out for us. Saving us time so we dont have to test them ourselves.
I love corn beef hash but in all years I couldn’t get it crispy until I started using my air fryer’s crispy setting. Great video!
The one thing I learned from this is that I definitely overcook my corned beef hash. I've been flipping and stirring so that it was crispy all throughout. Still tasted delicious, especially on toast. Might have to try cooking it your way.
I thought at first that he was saying to cook it for 45 minutes. Would definitely have been crisp!
Funny, I thought just the opposite. Under cooked corned beef gives all corned beef a bad name. From what I saw in this video, he was about half way to done.
My mother used to cut the lids open on end and use one end (like a Push-pop) to slide the corn beef out one end and slice it as she did, making perfectly shape corned beef patties.
Best documentary I have seen in along time . Not fake news
Correct fox had nothing to do with this! 🤷♂️😂
Look on the bottom of the can. If you see EST 199W it is made by Hormel. I have found this on Smart &final First Street hash as well as others.
You are dead right on. I saw the same thing at Smart & Final.
I like a good sprinkling of diced green onion on top! Adds some great, light onion flavor. 👍
If you refrigerate the cans beforehand, it is possible to remove both ends of the can and push the hash out like a log. Easy to slice patties and dredge with flour before cooking in a little more oil. Adds to the crispness.
I've always found Armour more salty that other brands. I usually go with Hormel, I like the crispy turnout. BTW, you have inspired me to use cast iron on a glass top! I was always hesitant to try that.
I pretty much only use cast iron on my glass top stove, for years now. No issues
@@tonik9724 thanks...I have been afraid tobuse cast iron as well! Glad to hear its overblown
Im pretty sure as long as you arent like putting it on high and leaving for half an hour, its fine. I guess the issue is that in the crazy rare situation where you do that by accident, the consequences are dire
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 I thought the main thing was it really scratching the top if you forget and try to slide it like a regular pan. I don't think any modern glass top at least should have a problem like exploding from it though.
@@jacksmith-vs4ct I think it was supposed to like fuse to the glass top? Honestly it probably happened like 4 times and now its an urban legend your stove will explode
I was brought up with Libby’s & it was topped with a slice of tomato & then topped with a slice of velveeta. Baked until hot & melted!
When i make it i put the hash in the fridge for about an hour then i slice it into patties then put the slices into a skillet with enough oil to cover them cook them over medium heat add sliced onion and garlic powder when done drain them in colander with several layers of paper towels been doing it for years
I just found your channel again!! Your voice is so nostalgic, like visiting your old childhood home :)
Considered doing a 'beat the brands' to make something tastier at as similar or cheaper cost as possible? That'd be interesting to watch, sure you and Mrs wolfepit could beat the blands!
Going heavier on the cooking oil gives you more crust. Also, you can chop up an onion and fry it alongside your hash, and add a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and MSG to make the whole thing even tastier. I'll sometimes round it out by frying some slices of stewed tomatoes alongside as well, though those need to be fried for much longer than the hash does in order to develop the char you want to see on a tomato slice. The corned beef hash I favor is the Aldi store brand "Brookdale" corned beef hash, in large part on cost.
Thanks, I'll be getting some of the Libby's. We grew up with corned beef hash from cans. However, at my parents' home, they baked it in casserole dishes, with perhaps some tomato paste atop - and even an egg (sometimes) Thanks for doing this taste comparison, so I don't have to! (I am old enough to realize that the recipes for the brands have changed over time!)
Almost 2am and I can't sleep so I figured watching this would make me sleepy. Instead, it made me hungry.
I haven’t come to watch one of your videos in soooo long!!!
Decided to look up what im cooking for breakfast today, and BAM, im happy to be back!
I cut both ends of the can and push the hash out with the bottom lid; I then slice it into pattys and fry it up; I serve it up on an english muffin with an egg; a hash McMuffin
That is a really great idea! I love that!
sounds really good. I will have to try it that way.
Awe, the proper technique of ‘crispification’ - a must watch!
A term for the culinary lexicon!
I never thought the Libby's brand would taste better overall. I've eaten the Hormel brand corned beef hash for many years, and had no problems with it. I'll have to give the Libby's brand one another chance someday. I cook my corned beef hash way differently than you do. I know you're not supposed to mix it while cooking, but that's what I do. I like the corned beef to have the texture of bacon bits and the potatoes cooked almost crispy. I like it that way.
I like the potatoes crispy or crunchy, too. I try to maximize BCBs (Brown Crunchy Bits) without burning anything.
Yeah me too I've never smashed it down and let it get crispy, I've always stirred it up and just heated it and then plate it with eggs on top of the side with buttered toast.
@@philliparthur8672 See, i never bothered with the eggs on top because I like mine scrambled or runny over-easy by themselves so I can mop up the yolk with buttered toast.
@@bradleyheck7204 definitely not a wrong way to go, I've had fried, scrambled, poached you name it now my daughter wants it on top of the hash because she loves the yoke and hash together and after trying it I do too. Its definitely her favorite breakfast.
Just to let everyone out there understand....most brands like great value,, are usually same as a name brand but they have a contract for name like great value,...you remember A&P and their store brand?? A&P is. The Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. I was a Distribution Education student at Wilbur Wright Senior Technical School in Detroit back in the sixites...(retail,sales,marketing advertising--- we were taught every aspect of advertising, salesmanship, took bookkeeping, typing newspaper ads, window display..Store brands usually are sold less customer buys these thinking the store or company is knows many will either pay less or in some cases more because it doesn't have that big corporation name.....LIKE I SAID A&P ,Kroger, Great Value, Aiden, the Smart Buy Best Choice ect is usually deal made with producers...same are exact some are a variation
I enjoy making my own hash using canned corned beef, diced tomatoes, onions and potatoes, a dash of worchester sauce.
I tried this for the first time this morning. I had the hormel and you're right it just tasted like beef and not really corned beef. I did enjoy the flavor and texture thanks to your cooking tips. The crispiness was great and the potatoes were popping like sniper shots. I had some eggs and toast and I am a very happy guy. I'm going to look for the libbys next time. Thanks again for the pro tips
Maybe you got roast beef hash by mistake? I buy roast beef hash on purpose because I like the taste better than the corned beef hash
Hormel makes Great Value (Walmart) and Brookdale (Aldi) so they probably do Food Lion also. If you look for the est number stamped on the can, that is the plant it came from. I eat the GV kind all the time with a couple of sunny side up eggs.
Hormel's always been my favorite
I've tried a couple others but can't recall exactly which ones
I'll have to try Libby's I guess
I did notice that it's alot more expensive than it used to be. Not just because of inflation. Even before that
Hash is so easy to make from leftovers. Ive used roast corned beef i just run it through a corse meat grinder followed by potatoes & onion mix with whatever seasonings you want & fry it up in butter my favorite or oil. Serve with eggs cooked any way you like.
I always add a tablespoon or two of chopped onion to cook with my corned beef hash as it heats up. The grease in the hash lets to the onion soften as it cooks. Sooooo good!
Like your videos. I worked for Carnation for 10 years. Any US company that cans meat for human consumption has to be USDA inspected. They are assigned an ":Establishment Code". Carnation's was 705. It will be stamped on one end of the can. So regardless of label or brand, everything coming out of that plant will have the same est code. By-the-way, Libby's in Nestle, who also bought Carnation in 1986.
Nestle owns more food related products than we realize.
Thank you for a great video. Now let me give you a tip. Before you open the can turn it upside down and punch a small hole in the bottom near the edge. Now open the can as normal and hold it upside down over your skillet and blow in the hole sealing your lips tight against the can. 100% of the hash just slides out in one piece into the HOT skillet.
Art from Ohio
Be sure to rinse off the can first.
“Crispifacation”…..I love it!! 😁❤️🌟
"Brownification" gets me... Grandma's maiden name was Brown!😊
How about crispness and a nice brown color?
Stupid words
Hows about "crackly-wacklees"..AFTerwords.
Armour and Essential Everyday(when it was available around here) were the two cheapest and two best. All are good, though.
I waited 14 days before watching this so that the video could reach the appropriate level of crispification.
Love this stuff
Always took it on camping trips. Lobby's is the best
👍👍👍 I love Libby's too. Their chicken Vienna sausages are the best!
Sounds stupid but I love listening to this channel while going to the gym. That intro song pumps me up and your voice gives me the extra energy I need for that last rep
I'm at the gym right now
Larry the motivator !!
Luv corned beef hash and eggs. I add diced frozen seasoning blend ( green,red peppers,onion and celery) to the hash. Gives it great added taste. Gotta be crispy, there's the flavor.......
Oh, and cook it with a little butter. Great taste and crispy goodness.
I've been cooking mine in the air fryer for about a year. Line the lower rack with foil, lightly coat with avacado oil and spread out the hash. Cook at 400* for 10 minutes, then stir/flip and cook 8 more minutes. The minimal interaction required gives me time to make the coffee and eggs so everything is done about the same time. I use the Mary Kitchen hash and hit it with a little SPOGB (salt, pepper, onion, garlic, & powdered butter). My favorite corned beef has was at the Cracker Barrel, but they no longer have it on the menu.... I may have to give Libby's a try now
Mary Kitchen has always been my go to.. I tend to find the others too 'wet' greasy
but I'll try the libbys one next time'
Boy, I love corned beef hash and eggs! I usually put a little hot sauce on it too. So good!
with a pile of French fries under it all and sausage gravy on top for the win. Might as well go big!
Sounds amazing and delicious!
I knew that Libby's was going to be the best. I'm not a big fan of their veggie line, but their canned meals and meats beat Armour and Hormel ANY DAY. I buy Libby's Country Sausage Gravy by the case. Back when I could eat anything, I'd go through a case every 6 or so weeks. Now, a year lol. (But I'm also down 125 pounds.) Libby's line isn't just salty, it legit has flavor. Love the hash, love the gravy. For the gravy I will fry up some skillet potatoes with onions and smother them. And with hash, I'll get it crisp, then scramble me an egg, and then toss it all together to make a "bowl" as restaurants like to call it today. Back 30 years ago, my mom just called it "lazy." Either way, it's cheap. Flavorful. And filling.
Oh no! I don't think Hy-Vee carries the Libby's line, they have their own Hy-Vee everything.
The only problem with Libby's sausage gravy is that it turns to water after you heat it up.
Yeah their sausage gravy is all kinds of good
I like to put an open can on the low burner to let the grease melt. When it bubbles up the sides of the can, the goodness will easily slide out of the can.
Back in the ‘60’s, my Mom and Dad would cook corned beef for St. Patrick’s day. The next day, my Mon would break out the meat grinder and grind the left over corned beef then put the potato thru the grinder. She would mix the two together, add some extra seasonings (don’t remember what they were) stick it in the fridge then have it the next morning, crisped up with over easy fried eggs and a couple of pieces of toast. Made great breakfast sandwich. It was the BEST!
Regarding whether the store brand is made by Hormel: As a meat product, aren’t the cans required to have a production facility code on them? (I think there’s a USDA identification code for each plant.) If so, the two cans would have the same facility code. Doesn’t guarantee it’s the same recipe (though it’s likely), but does tell you who made it. I also think there’s a website where one can look up the codes.
Interesting 🤔 makes sense.
I'm voting for Hormel right now, let's see where it ends up on the list!
I’ve actually been meaning to try some canned corned beef hash, never had it before. I will definitely use your pick lol.
It's good in a tortilla with mustard ...or Tabasco sauce! 😋
Canned corn beef with an egg on top is a good high protein cheap meal.
Just have some ketchup with fried eggs and toast with it, perfect breakfast won’t disappoint
You either love it or hate it
@@robertvega3078 Thank you Robert! I was waiting for someone to mention ketchup.
I usually use the armour one, and like the more moisture aspect.
But because i cook it way longer.
I usually add a bunch of ingredients and spices, and cook for a cook half hour on a medium heat. Doing it that way, the extra moisture helps when cooking it longer which makes a lot of the flavors come out more than they otherwise would have.
The libbys one is better if you do a quicker higher heat cook. But for what i do, i do prefer the armour one. The hormel i find to worse than the others, using no matter how you cook it.
Well, I don't really have much choice, since my Safeway only carries the Hormel, Hormel low salt, and generic Safeway brand (which looks like Hormel but is a dollar cheaper). I'm thinking about using the generic version as filling for homemade ravioli. :-)
