Outdoor Boys Series: Corned Beef Hash and Egg Sandwich Recipe

Updated: Jun 27


Savory, hearty, and surprisingly good—especially for canned corned beef.


I’ll be honest—I never liked canned corned beef. It always seemed a bit too salty, too mushy, too… something. But then I watched Luke from Outdoor Boys make his version of corned beef hash.


One of my eggs cracked and I don't care...


The way he crisped it up in a cast iron skillet with eggs cooked right in, scooping everything onto a slice of bread out in the wilderness—it made me rethink everything. So I gave it a shot, and yeah, I get it now. It’s really, really good.


A yummilicious mess...


Corned beef hash has been around since the early 1800s, originally created as a way to use up leftover meat and potatoes. During wartime and food shortages, the canned version became a pantry staple—cheap, filling, and shelf-stable.


Over time, it became a breakfast classic in diners and home kitchens, often served with eggs, toast, and ketchup. This version skips the potatoes and focuses on the pure simplicity of onion, garlic, olive oil, and eggs, allowing the corned beef to shine.



I layered mine between slices of toasted sourdough, and honestly, it's one of the most satisfying sandwiches I’ve had in a while. You don’t need much to make this work—just one skillet, a can of corned beef, and a bit of patience.


If you're like me and never gave canned corned beef a chance, this is the recipe that might just change your mind.
