Family-Friendly Beef Hash (freezer meal)

Looking for a family-friendly easy recipe? This Beef Hash is so easy to make and a big hit with kids. It uses frozen hash browns, so it saves a step on prepping the potatoes and is so fast to throw together.

I know this recipe is super simple, but the best-tasting recipes usually are. I think that’s what makes this such a big hit with kids.

Beef Hash Recipe:

• 1 1/2 lbs. browned ground beef
• 500 grams frozen hash browns*
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 Tbsp. dry onion soup mix
• 1 cup beef broth
• dash pepper
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese

*This amount is the equivalent of half of a 1 kg bag, so if you are making two of these recipes at once, just buy one large bag and split it between the two bags.

1. Brown beef.
2. Place cooked beef in a large resealable freezer bag. Add the frozen hash browns, minced onions, dry onion soup mix, beef broth, and pepper.
3. Squish to combine. Remove excess air and seal.
4. Put the shredded cheese in a medium freezer bag. Seal. Staple the bags together above the seal and freeze.

1. Thaw.
2. Bake at 350° for one hour, topping with grated cheese for the last 10 minutes.

Crock Pot Cooking Instructions:

1. Thaw.
2. Cook in the slow cooker on low for 2-4 hours, topping with cheese in the last 20 minutes.

Most of my kids like to top their beef hash with ketchup. I prefer hot sauce or salsa. Either way, this is sure to be a family-friendly meal everyone will enjoy.
