Being from Texas let me just say these beans are the real deal! I am sure the recipe is fine exactly as written. However, I made some changes only because I had to work with what I had on hand. I used a ham hock in place of the bacon, added a can of diced tomatoes instead of whole, used chicken broth instead of water and used 2 jalapenos, chopped in place of the can. My husband said they were the best beans he has ever eaten.

This was FANTASTIC and just what I was looking for. I actually did not want cakes, but wanted corned beef hash. My husband loves the canned hash for breakfast with his eggs. Too me it smells worse than can dog food. I gave this a whirl this morning with my left over corned beef. He went to work a happy man.

Excellent! I made very few changes. I used 2 can cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken soup, added fresh mushrooms and a splash of red wine. Also, for those complaining about the salt, don't use Lipton Onion Soup Mix (for this or any other recipe). It is way too salty. Campbells or the store brand onion soups are much less salty and just as good.
