The Secret to Keto-Friendly Corned Beef Hash
The secret ingredient is….wait for it…cauliflower.
Can this versatile veggie do any wrong? But, to make it LOOK like corned beef hash, you've got to use JUST THE STEM. That's right, the hard white part that you sometimes throw out, that's what's going to cook up and hold the little square shape, just like potatoes.
HOw To Prepare Keto Corned Beef Hash
So, here's how you do it.
First, get yourself a can of corned beef. These are funny shaped cans that have just a few simple ingredients.
There is a TOUCH of sugar added when the beef is "corned" aka brined, so it's out if you're strict keto. If, however, you can handle 2 net carbs per serving, then dig-in.
Next, pull out a cauliflower and cut away the leaves and the tough bottom end of the stem. Remove the florets and save for another dish.
Cut that hard, white stem up into little tiny cubes. Sautee those cubes in some olive oil to get them started cooking, then add your can of corned beef.
Break up the corned beef so that it is not lumpy any more, and mix it well with the cauliflower. Keeping the heat medium-high will help you get a bit of the crunchy brown goodness on the bottom.
Cook it until the cauliflower is tender, and the corned beef hash is heated through.
That's it!!!
It really couldn't get any simpler than this.
The corned beef is already cooked so you just need to heat it through and let it get a bit brown and crispy on the bottom.

What To Serve with Keto Corned Beef Hash
Serve with a sunny-side up egg, a few slices of avocado, and you're all set! You really don't need much more for breakfast, so brew a pot of coffee, make this quick dish, and enjoy your meal!
You could also make this a part of a more elaborate breakfast, with something like these cute and tasty Spinach & Cheese Egg Bites that are made in a Dash Egg Bite Maker or Baked Eggs Florentine with Ham.
Chef's Tips
- Canned corned beef is already fairly high in sodium, so you probably don't need to add much – or any – to this dish. Taste it before adding salt.
- To get a good, crispy bottom, get the pan good and hot (medium-high). A bit of added oil will help, too.
- It'll also help to use a large skillet. Overcrowding the pan will steam it, not crisp it.
- Don't worry about making perfect cubes out of the cauliflower (like I did), it'll still taste great!
- Canned corned beef often goes on sale, so watch for those deals and buy a few cans when it is on sale.
- Want to spice things up? Add a chopped jalapeno!
Is This Keto Breakfast Recipe Freezable?
Yes! You certainly can freeze this keto Corned Beef Hash.
Put the cooked (or uncooked) mixture into a freezer-safe plastic bag and freeze for up to three months.
Let it thaw completely before heating again in a skillet. You may want to add a touch more oil when reheating.
