Help, please. Bought a whole brisket but meant to get a corned beef, & it's not "corned." It's in the crock pot right now. I was going to make a corned beef hash. What spices do I add to get the corned beef flavor, or is it a lost cause? This is a $17 chunk of meat, so your help will be much appreciated.

1. You generally brine a brisket for days before cooking to make a corned beef, so I think you are too late for that.

But there are lots of other great uses for brisket. Slow cooking with some onions and spices, then serving up with BBQ sauce suits me just fine.

3. Sounds great, thanks

however, I just finished the BBQ roast I took out of the freezer yesterday.

Can't believe I didn't pay more attention to what I was buying!

Well, what's wrong with having BBQ roast twice in two days?

It won't kill one.

2. found a lot of recipes for brisket hash on google

They seem to use smoked brisket for it, but perhaps you could either throw your cooked brisket on the BBQ to char it, or add a bit of smoke flavoring in the crockpot. Dunno.

Beef Brisket Hash

Ingredients
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
½ medium yellow onion, diced
2 cups of smoked beef brisket
8 oz. diced potatoes, frozen
1 ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp of kosher salt
8 oz jar of beef gravy

Directions
In a large skillet, slightly brown onion and butter approximately 5-10 minutes
Add remaining ingredients and cook until light brown, then add beef gravy  approximately 10-15 minutes

4. Thanks, that's the way I'll be going

Gonna just dice some celery, onion, potatoes & carrots & throw that in. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Throw a can of DelMonte in with the brisket.
Problem solved, and you support the farmers in Nebraska.

BTW, DUmmie, open the can first, dump contents in, not the can.

I still don't know what the primitive's problem is.

Okay, so she just had barbeque roast yesterday.

And she's mucked up this brisket.

Which she could convert into barbeque roast.

What's wrong with having BBQ roast two times in two days?

Another textbook example of the callousness of the primitives, who really don't care that hundreds of millions in the world go to bed hungry at night, and are out of bed hungry during the day; people who'd give their right hand for some barbeque roast.

It's not like barbeque roast is haggis or lutefisk or something.

A can of what?

$17 for brisket?  You got off cheap, DUmmy.
