Savory Ground Beef Skillet Hash

Savory Ground Beef Skillet Hash

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (choose your preferred fat content)
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
• 2 medium potatoes, diced (optional)
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

 

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes (Optional):
   • If using potatoes, wash and dice them into small cubes.
   • Parboil the diced potatoes in boiling water for 5 minutes to soften them slightly. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
   • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.
   • Add the ground beef to the hot skillet and let it cook for about 2 minutes.
   • Break up the beef into smaller pieces using a spatula or wooden spoon.
3. Season the Beef:
   • Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the beef.
   • Stir well to combine all the seasonings with the meat.
4. Add the Potatoes:
   • Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with the ground beef.
   • Stir everything together, spreading it out evenly in the skillet.
5. Cook Thoroughly:
   • Let the mixture cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes to allow the potatoes to brown.
   • Stir and flip the mixture occasionally until the potatoes are crispy and cooked through, and the beef is fully browned—about 10-15 minutes.
6. Serve:
   • Transfer the savory ground beef hash to plates.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.
   • Enjoy it as a hearty meal on its own or with a side of eggs for breakfast.
