Easy corned beef hash….
Today I wanted to share one my of my favourite comfort foods - corned beef hash. I'm afraid there are no pretty pictures of this recipe and no amazing close ups to show you how gorgeous it looks because let's face it, corned beef hash isn't a pretty meal.No amount of clever photos or photo props are going to make it look anywhere near as good as this delicious meal actually tastes so I'm just going to go with it and hope you try it so you can see for yourself that it tastes way better than it looks.
