Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 500g potatoes, cut into around 1cm (0.5 inch) cubes (peeling is optional)
- 1 large onion, roughly diced (around 200-250g diced onion)
- 1 x 340g tin of corned beef
- 1 beef stock cube
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried thyme (see note 1)
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or crushed
Instructions
- Add the potatoes and onion to the slow cooker. Then either cut the corned beef into pieces or use clean fingers to break it up into the slow cooker dish (the beef will get mashed up during the cooking and stirring so it doesn’t matter too much how this looks).
- Crumble the stock cube over the top and then add the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, thyme and garlic. Stir everything together. It’s going to look a bit funky but don’t worry. The ingredients will release some liquid during the cooking process which helps combine everything together. Season lightly (see note 2).
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Season to taste and then serve it as is or with a fried or poached egg or baked beans (see note 3). If you want to crisp up the top of the hash then you can spread it onto a baking dish and then place it under the grill/broiler for around 5 minutes.
Notes
- If you use fresh thyme then double the amount. Rosemary also works well.
- As the corned beef is already quite salty then you may want to season only at the end of cooking after tasting the dish.
- You can also add any other veg or leftovers you may have available. Carrots, leeks or cabbage are all great options.
- You can also cook the egg directly in the slow cooker. 20 minutes before serving season and stir everything together. Make a well for each egg in the hash with a spoon and then crack the egg directly in. Return the lid and cook for 15 minutes.
- Prep time does not include messing around or possibly breaking that clumsy key you might need to use to open the can.
