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!
1. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, fill the pot with water and add 1/4 cup salt. Boil the potatoes over high heat until they are just tender, drain and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat and then sauté the chopped onions and chopped garlic until they are translucent; DO NOT allow the garlic to brown.
3. Pre-heat the oven to 325° F.
4. In a large casserole dish combine the shredded corned beef, the cubed potatoes, the ketchup, Tabasco, chopped onions and garlic; mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed and adjust seasoning.
5. Place hash mixture in oven and bake for 30-45 minutes or until heated thoroughly. Serve accompanied by fried eggs and toast for breakfast or with fried cabbage or coleslaw for dinner.

Ok Jar heads on the Corn Beef Hash, I am 30 year Navy retired since the Korean war and this was one of my favorite chow downs, So I have been surfing my butt off looking for Navy Hash and what do I see but the Marines took claim.. But then Marines are Navy so all is forgiven. I am making the hash in the morning. Navy Hash,,, Semper Fi

As a former (as of two years ago) Marine Corps wife, I will ALWAYS stop at a recipe that has Marine Corps in the title. Gonna try this one day for my Marine
