Hash for a Bash
6 to 8 servings

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 medium-sized onions, diced (about 2 cups)
2 pound frozen hash brown potato cubes, thawed
1 pound diced cooked corned beef (3 cups)
8 eggs

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat and saute the onions for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft. Add the hash brown potatoes and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the corned beef and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until heated through.
2.Place the mixture in a 9" x 13" baking dish that has been coated with non-stick cooking spray and, with a serving size spoon, make 8 evenly spaced indentations about 1/2 inch deep in the mixture.
3.Crack the eggs one at a time and place each egg in an indentation. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.


NOTE: If you have leftover baked or boiled potatoes, they can be substituted for the frozen hash brown potatoes.
