Ingredients

For the Hash:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3 cups (14 ounces) frozen O’Brien potatoes (diced potatoes with bell peppers and onions)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (8-ounce) jar of your favorite salsa

For the Topping:

  • 4 slices (3/4-ounce each) Land O Lakes® Deli American cheese, quartered diagonally
  • 1 (2.25-ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brown the Beef
  • Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ground beef and chopped onion to the skillet.
  • Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent.
  • Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  1. Step 2: Cook the Potatoes
  • Add the frozen O’Brien potatoes, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the browned beef.
  • Mix well and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium.
  • Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and have absorbed the flavors.
  • Stir in the salsa and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until everything is heated through.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat.
  1. Step 3: Add Toppings and Serve
  • Arrange the quartered cheese slices evenly over the hot hash in the skillet.
  • Evenly distribute the sliced olives and sprinkle the green onions over the cheese.
  • Cover the skillet and let it stand for 3-4 minutes off the heat to allow the cheese to melt.
  • Serve hot, directly from the skillet.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve as is for a hearty breakfast or brunch.
  • Pair with eggs cooked to your liking (fried, scrambled, or poached) for an even more filling meal.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
