ingredients
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
1 large onion, diced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 cups cooked, chopped beef or venison roast
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth, or more if needed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
directions
Heat the bacon drippings in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and potatoes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are browned.
Add the chopped meat and mix well. Sprinkle the meat and potatoes with the flour. While gently stirring, slowly add the broth. Stir until combined.
Add the garlic, pepper, salt, and chili powder. Bring the liquid to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the hash cook until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has mostly cooked off. Serve hot.
recipe tips
Adjust potato cooking time as needed to make sure they are fork-tender but not mushy.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
For a spicier dish, add a dash of hot sauce or increase the amount of chili powder.
Chop the meat and potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Try different types of broth to vary the flavor.
Garnish the finished hash with fresh herbs for a nice touch and fresh flavor.
If the hash seems dry after refrigerating, you can add more broth when reheating.
common recipe questions
What type of meat can I use for the hash?
You can use any cooked beef or venison roast, as both have a rich flavor that complements the other ingredients. Leftover roast works best, but you can also use ground beef or venison if preferred.
What can I substitute for bacon drippings?
If you don't have bacon drippings, you can use butter, vegetable oil, or any cooking oil of your choice. Each option will provide a slightly different flavor.
How should I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through.
Can I make this hash ahead of time?
You can prepare the hash a day in advance and reheat it when you are ready to serve. Just be sure to adjust the seasoning after reheating, as flavors may mellow.
Can venison be used interchangeably with beef in this recipe?
Yes, venison can be used interchangeably with beef, but keep in mind that venison tends to have a stronger flavor and might be leaner than beef. You may want to adjust seasonings accordingly.
What seasonings can I add?
You can add additional spices such as paprika, cumin, or thyme for extra flavor. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can be added just before serving.
Can this hash be frozen?
You can freeze the cooked hash. Store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2-3 months. It's best to cool it completely before freezing.
