Southern Hash Recipes

SOUTHWESTERN HASH

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large non-stick skillet. Cover with water, bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set potatoes aside.
• Dry the skillet with a paper towel. Add the oil and heat over a medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook until vegetables have softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, garlic, cumin, oregano, and chili powder. Add the tomatoes and beans and simmer for 5 minutes or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cilantro.
• Transfer the hash onto serving plates. With the heat off, wipe out the pan again. Spray it with cooking spray, turn heat on to medium-low and cook the eggs, sunny-side up, or over-easy. Put an egg on top of each mound of hash. Serve with hot sauce.

SAUSAGE HASH

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the onion, carrots and green pepper; cook until tender. Stir in the potatoes, salt and pepper. Reduce heat; cook and stir until lightly browned and heated through, about 20 minutes.

CHEESY SOUTHERN HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix sour cream, egg, chicken soup, onion, 1 cup cheese and one stick of melted butter in a bowl.
• Combine with hashbrowns.
• Mix in 1 cup crushed crackers and crumbed bacon.
• Spread in a 9 x 13 pan.
• Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
• Mix remaining butter and cracker crumbs and spread over top of casserole.
• Cover with foil and bake 45 mins or until bubbly.

SOUTHERN HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• As mentioned above, thaw hash browns (or use refrigerator style hash browns).
• In a large bowl, mix together hash browns, cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup melted butter, salt, onion, soup, and sour cream. Stir until evenly mixed.
• Spray a 9 x 11 or 9 x 13-inch pan or casserole dish with Pam or lightly grease the dish. This helps with clean up.
• Pour mixture from the bowl into the pan and spread evenly with a spoon. Do not pack down tightly.
• In a small bowl, mix together Corn Flakes and 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix together and spread on top of casserole.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes without a lid. The top should be lightly browned when done.

GEORGIA BBQ HASH

Steps:

• Cut meat into large chunks.
• Place in a heavy pot and add water to barely cover.
• Simmer more than an hour.
• When the meat is very tender, drain and reserve any broth.
• Grind the meat with a coarse hand grinder or chop finely.
• (Using a food processor destroys the texture.) Grind one large onion.
• Place onion and the meat back into the pot and add one large can of tomatoes-juice and all.
• Add corn, vinegar and seasonings.
• Simmer a few minutes.
• Add the reserved broth to the meat until it reaches the consistency of stew.
• Serve it over white rice or bread with dill pickles on the side as a condiment.
