Now this is the kind of hard hitting journalism I can get behind.

Helpful hint; While you are waiting for the skillet to heat up, place the open can in the skillet. This melts the fat at the bottom and it slides out so easy!

I've never been disappointed with a Libby's product. Their quality control is worth the extra price. Every time.

Okay, a hint I found in a very old cook book with canned corned beef. Take a tablespoon of diced onion fry on tiny amount of butter or cooking oil, then mix in a Tablespoon of whole milk and the hash. The milk makes it crispier and the onion adds a little flavor.

I just spent 8 minutes watching a man cook and eat corned beef. And I regret nothing!

My favorite is Hormel. It tastes as close to homemade as I have had. However it still looks like Alpo dog food, so much so that when I would open the can both the dog and cat (who thought he was a dog) would come running.

Boy, I love corned beef hash and eggs! I usually put a little hot sauce on it too. So good!

As someone who use to work for a company who made products for Food Lion, I can 100% confirm its the exact same product just in a different container, or in this case a different label. we used the exact same process, and ingredients to make the Food Lion products. we just swapped out the labels. We would even use any excess of the last name brand run for Food Lion.

I can finally realize my dream of growing into an adult man, and watching another full grown man eat 4 cans of corned beef hash, at a distance, on demand.

I'm just gonna say, for corned beef hash at home, you gotta cook it way longer to get it really crispy like they do at diners and such. The stoves in diners and restaurants have a much higher BTU, so they can get that hash crispy in 5-10 minutes. On a home stove it takes much longer. I usually cook it for about 12-15 minutes on medium high, flip it, and then do it for 12-15 more minutes. Yes, that's like 30 minutes just for hash, but it turns out super crispy, just like you get at a diner.

Growing up in the1960s, my mother always cooked our corned beef spread on a cookie sheet in the oven. Always crispy and awesome!

Processed food is pretty lousy these days. The other day I was driving and felt like a snack, so bought one of those Hostess Fruit Pies. Absolutely horrid. 90% just sickeningly sweet gooey syrup with a few small pieces of dehydrated apple. I admit I haven't had one in years. Back in the day the filling was mostly apples. Hostess oughta stop making these things...they are absolutely disgusting.

I grew up on this with a fried egg and toast in the 70's. I haven't had it in 40 years. But damn, I loved it. I'm pretty sure Libby was the brand my Mom bought. It's so GOOD!

A couple of my Asian friends told me they eat corned bf hash mixed in their white sticky rice. I was skeptical but open to trying it...and omg its amazing!! My husband LOVES it! So simple to make especially if you have a rice cooker.

“Crispifacation”…..I love it!! 😁❤️🌟

I knew that Libby's was going to be the best. I'm not a big fan of their veggie line, but their canned meals and meats beat Armour and Hormel ANY DAY. I buy Libby's Country Sausage Gravy by the case. Back when I could eat anything, I'd go through a case every 6 or so weeks. Now, a year lol. (But I'm also down 125 pounds.) Libby's line isn't just salty, it legit has flavor. Love the hash, love the gravy. For the gravy I will fry up some skillet potatoes with onions and smother them. And with hash, I'll get it crisp, then scramble me an egg, and then toss it all together to make a "bowl" as restaurants like to call it today. Back 30 years ago, my mom just called it "lazy." Either way, it's cheap. Flavorful. And filling.

Reading through the comments makes me really happy. Growing up my Grandpa always made us corn beef it was Libby's in a square can. And instead of dicing the potatoes he always cubed them into larger pieces, as an adult I've learned that it's a lot easier to cook with diced potatoes but for me I always cube them as a way of remembering him now that he's passed. Thanks for posting the video and cheers to everyone in the comments, I'm definitely taking some notes on new options.

Libby's is my favorite hands down! Has been my go-to for years. I usually fry up a couple of sunnyside up eggs and mash it into the hash, with a slice of toast with butter on the side, good stuff! 😀

This is one of the most informative videos I've watched lately. I would like a corned beef/roast beef hash comparison. That was my dilemma the other day. Regarding pumpkin pie, my grandma always said never use anything but Libby.

I'm always impressed by Larry's nails and how well manicured they are.

One of my favorite ways to eat corned beef hash is to scramble an egg into it while it's cooking with a little bit of fresh or pickled jalapenos chopped up with some raw onion

Hormel was always my go to as a kid to fry up with some eggs, as my parents left for work early and I was left to myself for breakfast. Some hash and eggs beat cereal every day. In fact, it's still a running gag between me and my grandmother, who gives me a can on certian special occasions. She grew up during the depression, so her recipes were simple and easy for me to learn... and probably why I enjoy watching your channel as well. I've since learned to cook all fancy, but I still keep a stockpile of corned beef hash in case of emergency ;) oh, and some green peppers from the garden (or canned earlier in the season) with the eggs really balances out the flavor of the meal altogether.

Been a sub for a few years now, honestly have no reason other than the enthusiasm in the voice. Much love from BC Syrupland.

As a purveyor of cheap, quick, delicious meals with epic shelf life (A.K.A. a broke, busy dad with picky kids who love and want corned beef hash at a moment’s notice), this video was unbelievably helpful for finding a meantime-in-between-time solution when we don’t have leftover corned beef brisket and potatoes. Thank you!

Before the first tasting I knew the Libby's was gonna come out on top. You can't beat transparent quality. Even if it's subpar food in general. Thanks for the info WolfePit!

Lol I cook mine for like a half hour on medium with onions and a shit ton of pepper. I need a LOT of crispy brown parts. And of course some sunny side up eggs and toast😋

Going heavier on the cooking oil gives you more crust. Also, you can chop up an onion and fry it alongside your hash, and add a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and MSG to make the whole thing even tastier. I'll sometimes round it out by frying some slices of stewed tomatoes alongside as well, though those need to be fried for much longer than the hash does in order to develop the char you want to see on a tomato slice. The corned beef hash I favor is the Aldi store brand "Brookdale" corned beef hash, in large part on cost.

I just found your channel again!! Your voice is so nostalgic, like visiting your old childhood home :)

"It was nice & crispy and BLAND". I couldn't help but laugh when you said it like that

A couple of years ago I realized that I hadn't eaten a childhood favorite, corned beef hash, in a long time, so I set out to rediscover it...and after a few tries I came to the same conclusion as you...Libbys was the brand that tasted the way I expected...you know, like corned beef.

my mom used to add some milk to the hash and serve it with a side of grits and biscuits with your choice of butter and jam and some mixed orange juice (mixed orange juice means orange and grapefruit juice mixed in equal parts to reduce the sweetness of the orange juice, but i wasn't a fan of it) and an egg poached in water with some vinegar to help coagulate the egg proteins and give it a nice tangy addition to the hash, then when you break the yolk you add some salt and pepper to the egg and mix them together it was so good, it was our go to breakfast every sunday morning before church.

My family loves corned beef hash and grits. I add chopped onions, pepper, and a dash of allspice. Gives it extraordinary flavor!

Larry, seriously thank you for doing this. You are by far my favorite youtuber. You made my wish come true. It took a lot of comments but you did it and that says a lot about you. Thank you.

The “sauce” I think you might be referring to is congealed fat. That said I watched your whole video. Sometimes the old brain needs a rest from the world and why not watch a guy rate corned beef hash. 👍

If you refrigerate the cans beforehand, it is possible to remove both ends of the can and push the hash out like a log. Easy to slice patties and dredge with flour before cooking in a little more oil. Adds to the crispness.

I haven’t come to watch one of your videos in soooo long!!! Decided to look up what im cooking for breakfast today, and BAM, im happy to be back!

I'm in the Mary's Kitchen (Hormel) camp here, and eat it somewhat regularly as I have my whole life. That cast iron pan really seems to speed up and help the crusting. I think I stir mine to often :O , so thanks for making this vid!. Beyond the egg, I love browning up some onion and green peppers to mix in there. Breakfast of champions!

Gordon Food Service has a 50oz. can (Hearthstone brand) that tastes amazing. I cut out both ends, slide it out, and slice into patties. Very finely dice some onion & green pepper, saute until soft, press into the patty. I fry it up in ghee, which has a high smoke point (no burning) and get a buttery - not greasy flavor. * ghee is shelf stable rendered/clarified butter with no milk solids. Aldi carries it. You can get it at an Indian grocery store, too. Lasts a long time. Try frying scrambled eggs in it..yum! Very buttery.

Thanks for the compassion! I know which brand to buy now. I like corned beef hash too. My mom made a kind of hash from left over roast with potatoes and onions and spices. It was really good too.👍🏻

Excellent review. Thank you! I’ve been a Hormel guy for years but I’ll give Libby’s a try now for sure.

Corned Beef Throwdown sure is better than Corned Beef Throw-Up!

I've always had the eggs mixed in with the hash. Love it that way. Put the hash in a pan and heat it until it reaches the point of sizzling, but not quite browning. Add 2 eggs for a small can, 3 or 4 for a big can, depending on taste, then keep mixing while cooking until the mixture become crumbly. yummy. Slap it on a tortilla with a piece of american cheese, and it makes for a great breakfast.

When i make it i put the hash in the fridge for about an hour then i slice it into patties then put the slices into a skillet with enough oil to cover them cook them over medium heat add sliced onion and garlic powder when done drain them in colander with several layers of paper towels been doing it for years

Like your videos. I worked for Carnation for 10 years. Any US company that cans meat for human consumption has to be USDA inspected. They are assigned an ":Establishment Code". Carnation's was 705. It will be stamped on one end of the can. So regardless of label or brand, everything coming out of that plant will have the same est code. By-the-way, Libby's in Nestle, who also bought Carnation in 1986.

I was raised on "Mary Kitchen" ... now I'm going to have to seek out some Libbys. Thanks, Larry; I've been watching your for a couple years now, and I love these "nostalgia" vids. 👏

We never had corned beef hash when I was a kid. I was an adult when I finally tried some for myself. I remember seeing Gilligan feeding it to the lion and had no idea what it was.

I got here ten days late, and saw that there were well over 1,000 comments, so I started reading them before watching the video. I am amazed at all the interesting, literate, and humorous responses there are. In fact, I'm still reading them, they are making me happy. Maybe I'll get around to the video, I do like corned beef hash.

I am 72 years old and have eaten all of the brands of hash you have covered. A couple of years ago I discovered by accident while shopping at Smart and Final in my town their brand, First Street homestyle corned beef hash. It has been the best of all the others we have eaten. It is not greasy and has been very consistent in the flavor and texture which is more than I can say about any other brand. I have gotten some of the other brands that have been as much as 1/3 grease at times.

Wolfe, I know this isn't necessarily budget-friendly, but if you have Boar's Head in your local deli, get about a 1/2" slice, cube it up and make a hash with potatoes and onions, and use your favorite binding agent to keep it all together. The texture and flavor will be a treat, when all is said and done.

We love Corned beef hash in our house! Even my daughter's boyfriend loves it! Our favorite is the Great Value brand version. We have tried them all and have found this one to be the best. Thanks again Larry for taking one for the team! We appreciate you!

Thanks for hashing this out for us. Saving us time so we dont have to test them ourselves.

I've been cooking mine in the air fryer for about a year. Line the lower rack with foil, lightly coat with avacado oil and spread out the hash. Cook at 400* for 10 minutes, then stir/flip and cook 8 more minutes. The minimal interaction required gives me time to make the coffee and eggs so everything is done about the same time. I use the Mary Kitchen hash and hit it with a little SPOGB (salt, pepper, onion, garlic, & powdered butter). My favorite corned beef has was at the Cracker Barrel, but they no longer have it on the menu.... I may have to give Libby's a try now

Mr and Mrs Wolfepit, you guys are awesome. Thank you for all of the wonderful videos. I appreciate your use of the most technical terms, “crispification” and “brownification” which are rarely heard on lesser channels.

Yes. This is the quality content I crave. We were team Libby's growing up, but I have found Kroger store brand to have much more robust meaty flavor, we get a couple of cans a week, pair with Kroger diced skin on yellow potatoes and it beats any pre-made hash out there.

My mother used to cut the lids open on end and use one end (like a Push-pop) to slide the corn beef out one end and slice it as she did, making perfectly shape corned beef patties.

I always add a tablespoon or two of chopped onion to cook with my corned beef hash as it heats up. The grease in the hash lets to the onion soften as it cooks. Sooooo good!

Considered doing a 'beat the brands' to make something tastier at as similar or cheaper cost as possible? That'd be interesting to watch, sure you and Mrs wolfepit could beat the blands!

Regarding whether the store brand is made by Hormel: As a meat product, aren’t the cans required to have a production facility code on them? (I think there’s a USDA identification code for each plant.) If so, the two cans would have the same facility code. Doesn’t guarantee it’s the same recipe (though it’s likely), but does tell you who made it. I also think there’s a website where one can look up the codes.

We were on a 4WD run in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and an AR decided to dump on us. After the first day our tents were floating; thankfully I had a cot. After 3 days of rain and a supply of 2 days of food, the only thing we hadn't eaten was the corned beef hash, and we were hungry so we opened it tried to eat. It was so bad I threw it on the ground in front of our dogs who also hadn't eaten for a day. They smelled it walked back to their shelter under one of the vehicles and laid down. The rain eventually washed it away! True Story!! PS: I love good corned beef, not sure about homemade hash?

Hash is so easy to make from leftovers. Ive used roast corned beef i just run it through a corse meat grinder followed by potatoes & onion mix with whatever seasonings you want & fry it up in butter my favorite or oil. Serve with eggs cooked any way you like.

I was brought up with Libby’s & it was topped with a slice of tomato & then topped with a slice of velveeta. Baked until hot & melted!

I cut both ends of the can and push the hash out with the bottom lid; I then slice it into pattys and fry it up; I serve it up on an english muffin with an egg; a hash McMuffin

I’ve had two of these brands tested. I’m always looking for other brands to taste and the brand I keep going back to is Aldi’s corned beef hash. It’s the best I’ve tried and it’s at a great price. Keep about a dozen cans in the pantry for quick meals. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

I love it but everybody else in the house hates it so much. They complain about the smell of cooking it. I usually add some onions and cheese to mine as I'm frying it

Back in the day, Broadcast corned beef was my favorite. I'm going to have to try Libbys over the Hormel I've been subjecting my self to recently. Thanks for the excellent service you provide!

Hormel's always been my favorite I've tried a couple others but can't recall exactly which ones I'll have to try Libby's I guess I did notice that it's alot more expensive than it used to be. Not just because of inflation. Even before that

Awe, the proper technique of ‘crispification’ - a must watch!

I buy a case of the Libby Hash every other month (I live in a VERY rural locale). I add 1/4 cup of diced onions and cook to translucent - then add the hash and shoot for crispification. Season with black pepper and a dollop of hot sauce.

Thank you for the very informative review! I have not chosen any brands of corned beef in my shtf plan as of yet. If I ever do, Libby's will be my choice based on this presentation. I always look forward to your "what are we eating now" videos. They make my shtf food storage plan choices that much easier.

I'm voting for Hormel right now, let's see where it ends up on the list!

Great review. I always enjoy your videos. Corned beef hash is one of my favorite foods. I don't eat it much anymore because it is fattening and the price has gone up over the last year. For a special treat I make home made corned beef hash. It's a lot of work but tastes so much better than the canned versions.

A good recipie: Fry corned beef with white onions black pepper green chillies, grate carrots and fry with white onion black pepper and green chillies, serve with rice. Garnish with lemon or lime juice and chopped coriander. cheap easy to make tasty and filling. Thank you for all the superb videos over the years Mr Wolfe Pit. Merry Christmas everyone from England 🇬🇧✌

Hormel makes Great Value (Walmart) and Brookdale (Aldi) so they probably do Food Lion also. If you look for the est number stamped on the can, that is the plant it came from. I eat the GV kind all the time with a couple of sunny side up eggs.

The one thing I learned from this is that I definitely overcook my corned beef hash. I've been flipping and stirring so that it was crispy all throughout. Still tasted delicious, especially on toast. Might have to try cooking it your way.

I recently got into corned beef hash as something new to try. I had Hormel and the Food Lion brand but Libby's was out when I purchased them. Almost completely turned me off to hash until I saw this video and saw that you thought they were garbage as well. I finally found some Libby's on the shelf and yes, it is very good.

I cook this often with whichever is on sale. I usually add onions and bell pepper and eggs. So so good

I never thought the Libby's brand would taste better overall. I've eaten the Hormel brand corned beef hash for many years, and had no problems with it. I'll have to give the Libby's brand one another chance someday. I cook my corned beef hash way differently than you do. I know you're not supposed to mix it while cooking, but that's what I do. I like the corned beef to have the texture of bacon bits and the potatoes cooked almost crispy. I like it that way.

Thanks, I'll be getting some of the Libby's. We grew up with corned beef hash from cans. However, at my parents' home, they baked it in casserole dishes, with perhaps some tomato paste atop - and even an egg (sometimes) Thanks for doing this taste comparison, so I don't have to! (I am old enough to realize that the recipes for the brands have changed over time!)

I usually use the armour one, and like the more moisture aspect. But because i cook it way longer. I usually add a bunch of ingredients and spices, and cook for a cook half hour on a medium heat. Doing it that way, the extra moisture helps when cooking it longer which makes a lot of the flavors come out more than they otherwise would have. The libbys one is better if you do a quicker higher heat cook. But for what i do, i do prefer the armour one. The hormel i find to worse than the others, using no matter how you cook it.

Great review. Instead of dumping whole can out. I open both ends of can. And push it out cutting into 1” thick rings. A good serving size. Much like you would do with brown bread. I also fry in butter vs oil as it tastes better. Just my opinion but everyone is different.

All these cost less per can than the canned food I feed my dog lol

I wish you would have included Aldi's brand Brookdale homestyle corned beef hash. It is the best canned corned beef hash available, period.

I tried this for the first time this morning. I had the hormel and you're right it just tasted like beef and not really corned beef. I did enjoy the flavor and texture thanks to your cooking tips. The crispiness was great and the potatoes were popping like sniper shots. I had some eggs and toast and I am a very happy guy. I'm going to look for the libbys next time. Thanks again for the pro tips

Thanks for doing this comparison tests. I typically buy Hormel's Mary Kitchen brand. I haven't in the past paid much attention to the 'ingredients'. I'm going to give Libby's brand a try, since it was made from 'corned beef'.

I've always found Armour more salty that other brands. I usually go with Hormel, I like the crispy turnout. BTW, you have inspired me to use cast iron on a glass top! I was always hesitant to try that.

I love corned beef hash. Put that on some toast with a sunny side up egg. Ooooh wee. That was some good eating.

I kept getting sidetracked staring at your perfectly seasoned cast iron skillet 👍🏼 Not everyone can pull off corn beef hash in one of those 😉

I worked for Hormel. Food lion is the same with a slight recipe difference (not ingredients) for each client they can food for. I also worked for the largest chicken cannery in the world based in the US they did the same thing. It is common with all manufacturers that make generic brands to do this and this is not just in the food manufacturing industry.

Love this stuff, easy way to add to any meal, especially delicious with eggs in the morning.

FROZEN BURRITO THROWDOWN...any brand, any flavor, any price point! tune in to this multi episode series where burritos go head to head. who will make it to the finals and who gets the boot at the qualifiers?!?! only one will walk away victorious! (just do a point rating system/metric.)

Luv corned beef hash and eggs. I add diced frozen seasoning blend ( green,red peppers,onion and celery) to the hash. Gives it great added taste. Gotta be crispy, there's the flavor.......

Think most of those cans were 'bland' from the potatoes mixed in! Starch is notorious at killing meat flavours if cooked in too much! I had noticed that when boiling soup from beef bones et al. The broth tasted amazing! Cook in some pasta, and BANG, flavour disappeared! Tip:Cook ANY starchy addition separately like noodles, potatoes etc 1st, then add AFTER, cooked!

I love homemade corned beef hash, I only have had the can stuff once or twice at deer camp. Once you get over the fact it looks like Alpo, it's not bad. But I highly recommend a good crust on it!

I also did a taste test with these and some others; however, my favorite is the Brookdale label from Aldi. I don't know who makes it but it's the one I use all the time.

I found the same thing! I get the Libbys in the cube shaped tin; even more flavor, and a lot less potato. Like for breakfast, add in some nice larger cubed potatoes. If you slice it cold, and grill a slab, you can make a nice sandwich with it.

Hormel is my jam but I should try Libby's as the salt looks way lower. Usually hit it with some Tobasco sauce to spice it up.

Crispification: it really is a word! Thanks for the test & review. I do recall the last time I had canned hash it was kind of bland and disappointing. I'll try the Libby's.

libbys has significantly less sodium as well. the other 3 are around 1900mg per can, whereas the libbys is 1270. still high, but 600mg less is around 33% less. Never had or tried corned beef hash. I will be on the lookout for some next time I get to the store.

Hey Wolfe, that's a great video. I have the same complaints you do with bland canned hash. I can find Libby's here and I'll try it for sure. Have you ever fiddled with putting the hash in a bowl and adding an egg and a little flour, some black pepper and maybe diced up jalapenos and giving it a mix? I've been making patties and then frying. They seem to brown up better. Many thanks. David
