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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
