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.
- Brown beef.
- Place cooked beef in a large resealable freezer bag. Add the frozen hash browns, minced onions, dry onion soup mix, beef broth, and pepper.
- Squish to combine. Remove excess air and seal.
- Put the shredded cheese in a medium freezer bag. Seal. Staple the bags together above the seal and freeze.
- Thaw.
- Bake at 350° for one hour, topping with grated cheese for the last 10 minutes.
Crock Pot Cooking Instructions:
