For many years, I have been a big fan of corned beef hash. My favorite brand of canned corned beef hash is Hormel Mary Kitchen Corned Beef Hash. This popular brand of hash features an equal mix of corned beef and diced potatoes that is very flavorful.
I think that canned corned beef hash is a good item to keep on hand and it is quick and easy to prepare. Although hash is usually thought of as a breakfast food, it can also be served for lunch or dinner. Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is one food writer’s product review of Hormel Mary Kitchen Corned Beef Hash.
Size
The net weight of the standard sized can of Hormel Mary Kitchen Corned Beef Hash is 15 ounces. According to the product’s nutrition label, the container holds approximately two 1 cup servings. I think that this serving size is realistic. Whenever I eat this corned beef hash, roughly one half of a container is enough to satisfy my appetite.
Price
The regular retail price charged for one 15 ounce can of Hormel Mary Kitchen Corned Beef Hash at Hartford, Connecticut area supermarkets is approximately $2.39. To me, this price seems reasonable. At $1.20 per serving, the price seems even more reasonable.
Texture
The texture offered by Hormel Mary Kitchen Corned Beef Hash is quite pleasing. This product is loaded with pieces of real, tasty corned beef and cooked potatoes. When this hash is fried, or even baked, it becomes crispier and is a delightful accompaniment to many different breakfast items. The overall mouth feel offered by this product is very agreeable. It is also best to place the cooked corned beef hash on a paper towel, to absorb some of the excess fat, before serving it.
