Notes
Recipe Tips
- Potatoes - We used frozen diced hashbrowns for this recipe. But if you use fresh potatoes, make sure to boil them for about 5 minutes or until fork tender. Then add with other beef hash ingredients.
- Cooking Ingredients - Cook the ingredients until the potatoes are golden brown.
- Ground Beef - We like to use lean ground beef when cooking this recipe. But you can use what you have.
- Season Well - Make sure you season the ground beef hash well. I start off with about teaspoon of salt and pepper and then add in more if needed. You will need more than you think you will.
Variations Ideas
- Add Vegetables - This is the perfect meal to add in leftover vegetables. Slice mushrooms, red bell pepper, white onion, green bell pepper or chopped zucchini. Green beans would also be a delicious addition.
- Change Meat - Use ground turkey instead of ground beef. You can also use half ground turkey, ground chicken and half ground beef for a delicious alternative. Try making it with ground sausage for a delicious breakfast idea.
- Change Potatoes - You can use diced Russet potatoes in this recipe if you prefer. Peel the potatoes and dice them into 1 inch pieces for this recipe.
- Add Cheese - Sharp cheddar cheese would be a great addition to this recipe. Other options would be pepper jack cheese, or Colby Monterrey Jack Cheese.
- Egg - To add more protein to this dish, you can mix in some egg or place a fried egg on the top before serving.
- Spice - To add a bit more spice to the beef and potato mixture, add in a teaspoon of chili powder, Italian Seasoning or red pepper flakes.
