Updated 2021 with Instant Pot instructions

St. Patrick’s Day usually brings the corned beef. I don’t know about you but I always some leftover. Some = enough that you don’t want to waste it but not enough for a full recipe. If you have some leftover corned beef, this breakfast scramble is the perfect way to use it up.

There are tons of corned beef hash recipes out there. Of course my version is being made in the slow cooker or Instant Pot. I thought I’d do a fun spin on the recipe and make it a true breakfast dish by adding eggs and turning it into a scramble. Of course if you don’t want to eat it as a scramble, you can always slice it up and serve it as a casserole.

How To Make Corned Beef Hash In The Slow Cooker

Like most recipes, making corned beef hash scramble in the slow cooker is fuss-free. Add your ingredients and let the hash cook. This recipe makes a small hash; double the recipe and you will have an overnight casserole.

  1. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and milk. Stir in corned beef, onion, and bell pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Spray the slow cooker generously with cooking spray. Pour the egg mixture into the slow cooker.
  3. Cook HIGH 2-3 hours or LOW 4-6.
  4. Using a fork, fluff up or ‘scramble’ the food directly in the slow cooker.

What Is A Hash

A hash is a simple dish that consists of meat, potatoes, and onions. Hashes are eaten around the world; they were originally known for using whatever leftovers you have a laying around. Corned beef hash in particular gained popularity in America as a way to use up leftover corned beef.

What Is Corned Beef?

Corned beef  is beef brisket that’s cured in a seasoned brine. When cooked, the corned beef will have a dull, gray color on the outside. Don’t worry, this is normal. This means it’s cooked. When you slice the corned beef, the inside should have the normal pink coloring that you’re used to. The pink coloring in corned beef comes from the beef being cured in either potassium or sodium nitrates.

How Many Eggs To Use

I like to use 6 large eggs but you can also use 8 medium-size eggs. For the slow cooker folks, if you have a large 6-quart slow cooker you can you can double the recipe to feed a larger crowd. If you’re making this in the Instant Pot, you will have to use the pot-in-pot method and cook the corned beef hash breakfast scramble in an oven-safe pan inside the Instant Pot. Because of this, you can’t make a large casserole, it simply won’t fit. This is why I normally shy away from Instant Pot breakfast casseroles. If I’m going to make a small one, I’ll just use my oven. But since this recipe only uses 6 eggs anyway, I thought I’d provide them here.

What Type Of Potatoes To Use

You can use fresh or frozen potatoes in this slow cooker corned beef hash recipe. What you see in the pics are basic frozen potatoes from the freezer section at my local grocery store. If you have leftover cooked potatoes, you can even use those.

Tips For This Corned Beef Hash Scramble

There are a few things you need to do or know to make this breakfast casserole a good one:

1) Grease the heck out the slow cooker. I sprayed mine heavily with cooking spray and it slid right out with no sticking. You can also line your slow cooker with parchment paper or use a slow cooker liner.

2) Let the casserole cool a bit before fluffing the eggs to ‘scramble’ it.

3) Every slow cooker heats differently. Your casserole might done after 4 hours on low or it might take 6. Insert a knife into the center; when it comes out clean you’ll know it’s done. Mine cooked in a little over 5 hours on low.
