Scale
Hashbrowns:
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 20 ounces frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Meat and Veggies:
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 8 ounces diced ham
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the Hash Browns: Melt 4 tablespoons salted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 20 ounces frozen shredded hash browns (thawed) and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, flipping minimally, until golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the hash browns from the skillet, set aside, and wipe out the pan.
- Cook the Sausage and Vegetables: Add 1 pound ground pork sausage to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it into crumbles as it browns. Stir in 8 ounces diced ham, 1 medium white onion (diced), and 1 medium red bell pepper (diced). Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned.
- Combine Hash Browns and Meat: Return the cooked hash browns to the skillet and gently fold them into the sausage and vegetable mixture. Turn off the heat.
- Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top and allow it to melt, about 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Optional: Drizzle with salsa before serving for an extra flavor boost.
- You can use other types of potatoes, such as diced potatoes or sweet potatoes.
- Add other vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or green onions for variety.
