I love corned beef hash. LOVE. IT. But here’s my dirty little secret – my favorite kind is from a can. I’m not proud of it but there is.

I know I should be shunning canned foods in favor of fresh but there are just some things that are deeply ingrained from childhood (like boxed mac & cheese!) and you can’t shake them.  And don’t want to.

My husband loves it too but it’s something we rarely indulge in because it’s just so bad for you.  I’m pretty sure when I do eat it I can hear the tiny screams of my arteries begging for mercy. I block the little whiners out because they can just suck it up once in awhile as far as I’m concerned!

Alas, the salty, greasy, crispy, deliciousness that is canned corned beef hash is not on the menu at my house for awhile since I’m still going strong on low carb – so I created a homemade version using cauliflower.

I’ll be honest with you, I was skeptical going into it but thought it might be worth a try.  Was it ever!  While it doesn’t come close to the flavor of my beloved canned hash, it was really delicious in a different way and SO MUCH healthier for you!  Even if you aren’t low carbing it this is a tasty alternative – or you can easily substitute diced potatoes for the cauli for a more traditional style like I did for my husband.  Top it with two poached eggs and ahhh… breakfast bliss!

Corned Beef and Cauliflower Hash (Low Carb and Gluten Free)

  • Author: Mellissa Sevigny
  • Yield: 4
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Cuisine: Hash

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups corned beef, chopped
  • 2 cups raw cauli, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan (I used cast iron to get it nice and crisp.) Add the corned beef and cook for a few minutes to render any fat out. Add the cauliflower and cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the cauliflower to caramelize so don’t over stir it. Add the onions and cook for another 5 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
  2. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

I used leftover corned beef that I had trimmed all of the fat off of so I added a little extra olive oil to mine at the end because it was drying out a bit. If you want to make this but don’t want to bother with making the corned beef first, they do sell corned beef in a can and you can cook that down, drain off the extra fat and then add your veggies and fry until browned.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

You can omit all of the olive oil if you are using the canned stuff because it’s pretty greasy (and mmmm salty) to start with.

    Can this be refrigerated? Or would that ruin it?

      You MUST refrigerate any leftovers or they will spoil and you’ll get sick.

    Will a pound of sliced corned beef equal 2 cups? I don’t want to get too little or too much. Please advise

    Canned corn beef was the one thing my husband really missed. He’s declared this better than the real thing (from a can, of course)
    I stuck it in the InstantPot for 90 minutes with 4 cups of water and a quick release, and fried it in a pan with frozen riced cauliflower.
    He’s in love.
    Thanks!

    Funny, I’ve always thought the canned corned beef hash tastes like dog food!

    I’ve been cooking for a friend with health issues. One of my challenges is to tempt her to eat more, and the key to this has been corned beef. She loves it! And I am learning to love it even more than I used to, perhaps because I am improving at cooking it with all of this practice.

    I’m about to go back to my low carb ways (long story), so this is right up my alley. Now i can make regular hash for her, and this version for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    I would really love a printable version. I’m working on Week 3 Keto, and getting frustrated that so many menu plans and recipes are not formatted to be printable. I would love to try this if only I can get it printed.

      I just haven’t had time to go back and format all the old posts Corinne – if you cut and paste into a word document you’ll be able to print easily until I get them all into ziplist!

    was thinking of giving this a go with turnip instead of cauli or potato as the daughter won’t touch cauliflower, and turnip is fairly lowish in rhe grand low carb scheme (compared to potato anyhoo!)

    I finally tried this today. It has been on my “must try” list since you posted it. Let me just say… THANK YOU for bringing back my favorite breakfast! I used canned corned beef, fresh cauliflower, and topped it with an over easy egg. It taste soo good! Im sharing with the family, but I really want to keep it all to myself!

    Yep, corned beef hash out of the can is my dirty little secret too – I do indulge when I see it on a breakfast menu though – that and a Reuben sandwich I can’t pass up!

    Thanks for the recipe!! Totally making this next week. :D

      You’re welcome! My husband and I order it out too but we can’t get it down here in the south – guess it’s more of a northern thing! As is a good egg sandwich for some reason – can’t get that down here either. At least nowhere we’ve tried in our area. It’s all biscuits and sausage gravy. I like biscuits but sausage gravy is gross to me – and gravy shouldn’t be white! (shudders) Eewww.

      Mmmm…I love a good Reuben too!

    Well, see now you have reminded me of and made me crave that wonderful stuff you could fry crispy on the outside, mushy and greasy on the inside – oh I loved that canned hash LOL! But this DOES look good, so I am going to give it a try.

    How funny, I loved it from a can too with potatoes….crispy ones. But those being a huge no no I am picking up some corned beef brisket at Costco this weekend and will try this out.

      Oh yeah, you have to really cook the crap out of the canned stuff until they get nice and crispy – otherwise it’s just kind of like dog food. Sadly, I’d still probably eat it though! Hope you like the cauli version!
