A Quick healthy Meal For Busy Days - Southwestern Beef Hash method

This Southwestern Beef Hash is a quick and healthy meal for busy days. It is a quick cooking compound of meat and potatoes. You can add any extra leftover vegetables that you might have on hand for a one-dish meal.

This recipe uses lean ground beef, but you can also use leftover roast beef or chicken that you might have on hand. Using leftovers reduces cooking times even more and helps control the food budget, an added advantage in the current economy.

Leftover baked, roasted, or boiled potatoes can be used instead of the Potatoes Obrien, but you may need to adjust the seasoning a little. You can even use leftover cooked rice or corn instead of the potatoes. This is a very versatile recipe that can help save you hours in the kitchen.

I like to add a little cheese on top at the very end. Serve with tortilla chips or warm soft tortillas and maybe a green salad.

Southwestern Beef Hash Recipe

1 lb Lean Ground Beef
1 small Onion, chopped
3 cups freezing Potatoes Obrien
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Salsa, mild or medium
Sliced Green Onions, optional
Sliced Black Olives, optional

Brown the ground beef and onion in large skillet over medium heat until it is no
longer pink. Drain away as much grease as possible.

Stir in the Potatoes Obrien, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the salsa. Cook 8 to 10 minutes more until potatoes are lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Garnish with green onions and black olives, if desired.
