This looks like it would go good with so many dishes! I’ll have to try it out after my month long break from bread!!

Corned Beef hash is typically minced so fine that it’s almost ground, and in fact if you have a meat grinder or a food processor you can do better w/ this than using a knife. Also, you should bind the beef, onion and potatoes w/ some milk, broth or cream. I guarantee, it’s worth the effort!!

justin – i used some of the leftover corned beef to try and make corned beef hash. it came out ok, but it didn’t really “stick” together and was more dry. It beat the kind that comes out a can though =)

bree – you’re welcome!

nana – the 3 Tbsp of sugar is the reduced amt – it called for 4 Tbsp. i might have even went 2 tbsp because i don’t eat as much sweet things. There are a ton of recipes out there, we just picked a random one and got lucky.

jain – i think we’ll probably try put some raisins or dried cranberries in the next one we make – I understand that means its not Irish soda bread, but rather “cake”? but if it tastes good, i’m fine w/ it.

I like the extra-crunchy crust! The one I had contained raisins, delicious spread with butter.

This is exactly what my fiance would love! I can’t wait to try out the recipe. The only question I have is, is the 3 T of sugar the already reduced amount, or did you reduce it further?

I normally don’t like Irish soda bread, the recipes I’ve ad always seemed to dense and just lacking in flavor. But the addition of butter would defiantly add to the flavor department, and the baking powder would act with the baking soda for that one-two punch in the lift department. Sounds worth trying with the huge amounts of left over corned beef.
