Alright, listen up, y’all! We gonna talk about cookin’ up some canned corn beef for breakfast, but hold your horses, we ain’t usin’ no potatoes. I know, I know, potatoes is what most folks do, but I’m tellin’ ya, you don’t need ’em! We can make somethin’ real tasty without them potato things.
First off, what is this canned corn beef stuff anyway? Well, it’s like this beef, they soak it in salty water, then they cook it up. It’s kinda like how we used to make them hams back in the day, but with beef. They call it “corned” beef ’cause of them big ol’ salt pieces they use, like corn kernels or somethin’. Makes sense, I guess.
Now, you got this can of meat, and you’re starin’ at it, thinkin’, “What now?” Don’t you worry, I got you covered. We gonna make a real nice breakfast, easy peasy.
First thing’s first, let’s try a simple Corned Beef Scramble.
- Crack some eggs in a bowl, how many depends on how hungry you are, you know? Two, three, maybe four for a big fella.
- Whisk ’em up good, just like you doin’ a cake batter, but not as much.
- Throw in some chopped onions, if you got ’em. If not, don’t fret. It’ll still be good. And maybe some peppers too, if you like ’em. Them colorful bell peppers, they make it look pretty, and they’re good for ya, I reckon.
- Now, open up that can of corned beef. You can use a can opener, or if you’re strong like me, you can just use a spoon and pry that sucker open.
- Fork that meat up a bit, break it into smaller pieces, you know? Not too small, you still want to feel the meat in your mouth.
- Toss that corned beef into a pan with a little bit of oil or butter, whatever you got. Let it sizzle a bit, get a little crispy on the edges.
- Pour them eggs right over the meat.
- Stir it up every now and again so it ain’t stickin’ to the bottom and burnin’ up.
- Cook it ’til the eggs ain’t runny no more. You like ’em soft, cook ’em less. You like ’em hard, cook ’em more. It ain’t rocket science.
- Salt and pepper, that’s all you need. Some folks like hot sauce, go ahead, put some on if you want. Ain’t nobody stoppin’ you.
There you go! Corned beef scramble, no potatoes in sight, and it’ll fill your belly right up.
Now, let’s say you want somethin’ a little different. We can make Corned Beef with Cabbage, that’s always good.
- Chop up some cabbage, not too fine, not too big, somewhere in between.
- Get that pan hot again, throw in some oil.
- Toss in that cabbage, let it cook down a bit. It’ll shrink up, you’ll see.
- Open up another can of that corned beef, break it up, and throw it in with the cabbage.
- Stir it around, let the meat get hot, let the cabbage get soft.
- Add a little bit of water, maybe a quarter cup or so, just enough to make a little bit of juice. Let it simmer for a bit, ’til that juice thickens up a little.
- Again, salt, pepper, whatever else you like. A little bit of vinegar sometimes is nice too, gives it a little zing.
This here’s a good one, fills you up and it’s good for ya. Cabbage is healthy, you know. Keeps you regular.
And you know what else is good with corned beef? Radishes! Yeah, you heard me right, radishes. I know it sounds weird, but trust me on this one. You cook them radishes up, they get all crispy and sweet, it’s amazing! You can just chop ’em up, cook ’em in the pan just like them potatoes, but they taste way better, I tell ya! Then mix them up with the corned beef. A little bit of onion, some garlic if you got it, salt and pepper, and you got yourself a fancy breakfast, no potatoes needed.
So there you have it, a few ideas for cookin’ up canned corned beef for breakfast without no potatoes. You don’t need no fancy recipes or special stuff. Just some good ol’ meat and some other things you got layin’ around the kitchen. Now get to cookin’!
Remember now, some folks like other things with their corned beef. Some like coleslaw, some like them beets, the pickled ones. Some like bread, that sourdough stuff, or that dark bread, what they call rye. It’s all up to you. You make it how you like it.
And one last thing about that canned corned beef hash. It’s already cooked, you know, so you can eat it right outta the can if you want. But it’s better if you heat it up a bit. Put it in a pan, brown it up a little, make it crispy. That’s the way to do it.
