Slow Cooker Corned Beef Hash
English slow cooker corned beef hash takes your taste buds on a trip across the pond to the British Isles. Potatoes, carrots, and onions slow cook with seasonings and canned corned beef in rich broth to recreate the classic English dish here in the states.
Someday, I’d love to go to England with my family.
I’d love to explore London and some of the British countryside, wandering in and out of cozy little pubs.
It’s all very Harry Potter-esque in my mind.
Since a trip to the UK isn’t in the cards for us any time soon, I bring bits of the UK to us with traditional English style meals like this slow cooker corned beef hash.
It’s a classic British meat and potatoes dish that’s very different from the kind you might know stateside, but just as delicious.
English Corned Beef Hash versus American Corned Beef Hash
American corned beef hash is brisket brined in a salt solution, cooked and thinly sliced.
English corned beef is more like spam but with beef.
It is canned, minced beef in gelatin.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Potatoes– Petite or baby potatoes
- Carrots– Peel them and thickly slice them.
- Onion– A large yellow onion, peeled and cut into quarters
- Seasonings– Dried thyme, worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, salt and pepper
- Tomato paste– Optional but does add nice body to the broth
- Corned beef– 2 cans of it
- Beef broth– Use low sodium if you can find it because canned corned beef is already VERY salty.
How to Make
Slow cooker corned beef hash is so easy!
Just open the cans of corned beef and cut each chunk of meat into halves or thirds.
Set the sliced meat aside.
Then, add the prepared vegetables to the bowl of your slow cooker and top them with the bay leaves.
Whisk together the broth, worcestershire, tomato paste, and seasonings in a mixing bowl before pouring the mixture over the vegetables.
Set the corned beef in the slow cooker on top of the vegetables.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or HIGH for 4.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat them in individual portions in the microwave or all the leftovers in the slow cooker until everything is warmed through.
Tips and Tricks
- You can serve this with the broth to be on the soupier side, or with a slotted spoon leaving the broth in the crockpot.
- If you go for the soupier version, a nice hunk of crusty bread is perfect on the side!
- For extra veggies, add a container of sliced mushrooms to the slow cooker with the carrots, onions, and potatoes.
