Corned Beef Hash Quiche

Everybody has guilty pleasures. Guilty pleasure TV shows (Keeping Up with the Kardashians, anyone?), movies, books—and food.

Guilty pleasure foods are some of the more interesting in the world. I can still eat a cold hot dog with ketchup just like when I was a kid. I know some people who’s guilty pleasure is baby food. Yes. Baby food.

Vienna sausages, Beenie Weenies, funyuns, cheetos with mustard—those are all guilty pleasures I’ve heard of or come across.

So what’s mine?

Canned corned beef hash.

Yes, it looks like flecked cat food. And yes, it doesn’t smell much better either. But that thick, crispy-when-cooked, canned meat product is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I don’t eat it often; in fact, before I made this, I hadn’t eaten it in over a year. Canned corned beef hash isn’t exactly a pillar of health. The sodium content in fifteen ounce can is out of this world.

A craving of corned beef hash led me to this recipe. I’m not sure where it comes from, and I don’t know how long ago I wrote it down, but I love it. Flaky pie crust, spinach quiche topping, and salty corned beef hash. I cooked the corned beef hash beforehand because there’s nothing better than corned beef hash when it’s all crispy on the outside.

This recipe makes it OKAY to indulge in your guilty pleasures ever now and then. What are your food guilty pleasures?
