This is the easiest, most forgiving method. Heat a pan over medium heat—not high, you monster. Throw in a tablespoon of butter or oil. Wait for it to shimmer. (Pro tip: if your butter burns, you’re too eager. Turn it down.)
Add your crumbled corned beef. Let it sizzle without moving it for a full minute. I know you want to stir. Don’t. Let it get a tiny crust—that’s where the magic happens. Then toss it around.
Now for the game changer: add diced onion and a big squirt of ketchup or brown sauce. Yes, ketchup. Trust me on this. Stir until the onions go translucent and the whole thing turns a deep, sticky mahogany. You now have a base for everything.

Option A: The Lazy Hash
Throw in some diced boiled potatoes (or even leftover fries, you rebel). Let them get crispy on the bottom. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a mountain of paprika. Top it with a fried egg whose yolk runs like a golden lava flow. That’s it. Dinner is served.
Option B: The "I'm Fancy" Sandwich
Toast two slices of bread until they’re angry. Slather on mayo or mustard—your choice, no judgment. Pile on the fried corned beef mix. Add a slice of cheddar, then broil that sucker until bubbly. The cheese will get salty-crispy, and you will weep tears of pure pantry-gratitude.
