Marine Corps Style Corned Beef Hash

As a young Marine I started almost every morning with one of the two Marine Corps breakfast standbys corned beef hash or S.O.S. and eggs, and grits. I came across this recipe a few years back and it reproduces the taste of good old Corps hash pretty well. I’ve found the best way to produce the look and taste of a Marine breakfast is to divide the hash into serving sizes, vacuum seal the servings and freeze the portions. When ready to eat the hash, thaw it out and fry it in 2 tablespoons of bacon grease until the meat is slightly crispy, the potatoes are browned a little, and the whole thing is swimming in reddish tinged grease . . . hoo-rah now that’s breakfast!
