Corned beef hash

This dish is so comforting on a cold winter's day and is very simple and quick to do. It is delicious served with grilled tomatoes, peas or baked beans!


2-3 large baking sized (or 4-6 roasting size) potatoes
1-2 tins of corned beef (depending upon how much corned beef you like to eat!)
1 tin of baked beans
1 large onion
small amount of oil
pepper to season
grated cheese

Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes of about 1 inch (2.5cm). Boil the potatoes until almost cooked though, and drain.

Open the corned beef and cut large chunks, like the potatoes.

Finely chop the onion and brown in a pan with a little oil; add potatoes and brown together for 5 minutes. Add corned beef and season with pepper if required.

Pour the baked beans into a casserole dish, then add the potato & corned beef mix.

Sprinkle over grated cheese and bake in the oven until the cheese is bubbling.

SERVE!  


Variations

If you don't like corned beef, you could use left over cooked meat or a tin of drained tuna instead.
