Corned Beef Hash with Fried Eggs

  

  
I imagine that when a woman comes home late from a hard day at work, or if she's getting some alone time after spending all day with the kids, she is kicking off her shoes, maybe running a bath, pouring a glass of wine and soaking away her troubles.  Dinner on evenings like that might range from a bowl of ice cream to a plate of spinach, something easy, something quick, something thoughtless.  A guy will do the exact same thing, only in ways to which guys relate.  Instead of the tub it's the couch.  Instead of a glass of wine, it's a bottle of beer.  Instead of a People Magazine, it's Monday Night Football.  
    
For dinner, an exhausted or brain-dead man can eat a bowl of cereal standing over the sink, but for me at least, it's hard to drink beer with cereal.  Lucky Charms and Coors Light just doesn't work (yes, I do still find youthful joy in kids cereal).  However, I do like breakfast for dinner, both for its ease and its comfort factor.  I also find that eggs and bacon, with their savory and salty tastes, match well with a beer.  A higher form of breakfast comfort for me is corned beef hash.  Since this is a night for quick and easy, I'm not talking about some gourmet recipe where you might actually make the hash, or get creative with alternative ingredients.  I'm talking straight from the can, baby.  I also love to crack a couple of eggs in the hash and cook them right in there.  Cutting into the cooked hash you can get a little of the egg yolk to run out, helping to coat surrounding hash.  Now that's good eating.  So, while joy in the form of a simmer sauce can come from a jar, and happiness in the form a cold beer can come from a bottle, sometimes, especially in the case of hash, true love comes from a can.  Serves 2.
     
Ingredients:
1 can corned beef hash
4 eggs
    
Directions:
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the corned beef hash, breaking it up into pieces and stirring occasionally.  When the hash starts to brown, make a couple of small voids in the hash and add the eggs to each.  Allow to cook a few minutes and then flip the portion of the hash with the eggs.  Cook a few minutes more to desired doneness, covering during the cooking if a harder yolk is desired.
