Slow Cooker Corned Beef Hash
Slow cooker corned beef hash is a hearty, no-fuss meal that turns simple ingredients into a warm and filling dish. Slow-cooked potatoes, carrots, and leeks soak up rich beef broth, while tender corned beef adds a deep, savory flavor. Whether you use leftover corned beef from a holiday meal or sliced corned beef from the deli, this recipe makes the most of what you have. It’s easy to prepare, hands-off while cooking, and can be crisped up in a pan for extra texture. Serve it with mustard or top it with a fried egg for a meal that works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients

Three Ways To Make This
You can make this in different ways. Do whatever works for you.
- panfry the corned beef before adding it to the slow cooker
- add the chopped corned beef to the slow cooker without panfrying it
OR - panfry the hash after everything is cooked together to make it crispy
What Kind of Corned Beef Works Best?
This recipe is great for using leftover corned beef, chopped into small pieces for easy mixing. If you don’t have leftovers, deli-sliced corned beef also works—just ask for thicker slices so you can chop them into chunks.
What to Serve With It?
A fried egg on top makes this hash even better, with a runny yolk adding richness to every bite. You can also serve it with a side of toast, a dollop of mustard, or even some sautéed greens for contrast.
Or roll it in flour tortillas for the ultimate breakfast burrito. Add egg, shredded cheese, chopped green onion or whatever you enjoy in a breakfast burrito.
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, crisp it up in a pan over medium heat or warm it in the microwave if you’re short on time. Freezing isn’t recommended, as the potatoes can become mushy.
