Here’s a simple, hearty, Hamburger Hash recipe—perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s basically ground beef, potatoes, and onions all cooked together in one pan.
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 1/2 lb (225 g) ground beef
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced small
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper (optional), chopped
- 2 tbsp oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 2 eggs (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes:
- Dice potatoes into small cubes so they cook faster.
- Cook Potatoes:
- Heat 1 tbsp oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add potatoes, sprinkle with a little salt, and cook 8–10 minutes until starting to soften, stirring occasionally.
- Cook Onions & Bell Peppers:
- Push potatoes to the side of the pan, add 1 tbsp oil/butter.
- Add onion (and bell pepper, if using) and cook 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Cook Ground Beef:
- Push veggies to the side, add ground beef.
- Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, 5–6 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Combine & Finish:
- Mix potatoes, onions, peppers, and beef together in the skillet.
- Cook 2–3 more minutes until everything is heated through and slightly crispy on the bottom.
- Optional Eggs:
- Fry or scramble eggs and serve on top of the hash.
💡 Tips:
- For faster cooking, you can parboil or microwave potatoes for 3–4 minutes before frying.
- Add cheese on top at the end for a cheesy hash.
- Leftovers reheat well for breakfast the next day.
If you want, I can give a super quick “one-skillet lazy version” that takes only 15 minutes and uses minimal prep.
