RECIPES FOR CANNED CORNED BEEF....
Hi everyone...A friend had about 30 cans of canned corned beef & since she couldn't use it all, she gave me a few cans. I've never used this and I have no idea how to prepare this. I would appreciate any recipes you may have....Is this the same concept as Spam?

Cook it over a steamer with cabbage, add a little ground black pepper. It's makes a pretty good meal over white rice or long rice, if it's what I think it is (black and red can from Argentina?). I might buy some this weekend, since I haven't had the dish ~25 years.

Ask a Filipino. They love the stuff as much as Hawaiians love Spam. Canned corned beef won't slice like Spam. It's been a very long time since I've eaten it, but I think my mom would saute onions, throw in the corned beef and add chopped tomatoes, which would be served over plain white rice. I suppose you could boil some cabbage, potatoes and carrots and then add the corned beef.
Or do what @Garvey says.

Ask a Japanese :-)
that was the only "corned beef" I had access to growing up.
-saute it with cabbage, onion & cooked potatoes
-same as above, add some curry powder
-saute with some leafy vegetables, then crack an egg on it to cook (egg-in-a-nest style)
-mash potatoes, mix in corned beef, make croquettes
-omelets
-top boiled potato with coned beef and cheese, bake
That stuff somehow goes with Japanese "sauce" or so-su, the closest thing I can think of is Worcestershire sauce but not quite.

@betteirene--that's how I had it growing up as well, onions, hot peppers, tomatoes, and sometimes corn, and worchestershire sauce served over rice.
Salty comfort food--i haven't had it in years.

I would make homemade hash. Saute onions, peppers, shredded potatoes and corned beef. Top with fried eggs add salsa/hot sauce if desired.

Skillet hash with eggs-
-small onion, diced
-2 medium or 1 large potato, peeled, diced, rinsed and drained well
-1 can corned beef
-4 eggs
-cooking oil
Add a tablespoon or two of oil to a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and saute' until starting to get tender. Add potatoes and cover, stirring frequently until slightly browned and firm-tender.
Push potatoe-onion mixture to the side of the pan and add canned, corned beef. Break up the corned beef with a spatula or large spoon until is is evenly crumbled and starting to brown. Stir the contents of the pan together and cook until all is getting slightly browned.
Make four wells in the potato-beef mixture and break one egg into each well. Cover pan and cook until eggs are set to your liking. Serve with hot sauce.
(Adding the potaoes balanced out the overly saltiness of the canned hash, making it edible.)
You can add other diced vegetables to the mixture is you wish- root vegeatbles work best.

I like canned corned beef - it's comfort food for me. (Why, yes, I AM filipina!)
1) Saute garlic and onions till onions are translucent. Add tomatoes and cook till tomatoes are basically liquified. Add corned beef and mash around. Taste - if it needs salt, I use a couple of dashes of fish sauce. Eat over rice with a fried egg. Ok, I'm kinda hungry now.
2) We used to do this to make food stretch out: make corned beef soup! Same deal: saute garlic, onion, tomato. Add corned beef, couple of dashes of fish sauce. Add low sodium chicken or beef broth/stock/buillon (if using buillion, don't use fish sauce). When boiling, add macaroni noodles. Once noods are done, turn off heat, add a dollop of milk/cream/half and half/evap milk (whatever you've got in the fridge), add shredded cabbage and shredded carrots. Serves a LOT of people.
3) Corned beef fried rice: sautee (lots. This is key. You need lots and lots and lots of) garlic, some chopped up onions. Add corned beef and mash around to separate. Add lots of cold white rice. Stir around, salt and pepper to taste.

Cassaendra's suggestion of adding cabbage is a good idea too. Just omit the eggs in the skillet hash and add the cabbage instead.
That would be pretty decent too. (Great suggestion Cassaendra!)

@CJMcD that's exactly the way Mom made it when I was a kid. I haven't had it in ages but it was a much loved comfort meal.
