Quick and Easy Hamburger Hash

Sloppy Italians
“Better than sloppy joes! Easy and a family favorite.” – Hollie

“I found this one day and have been making it ever since. Everyone loves it and it’s so easy. Hope you enjoy it too.” – Debbe
Chili Mac and Beef Casserole
“This chili mac casserole version was brought to a potluck and this is my version of that recipe. It never fails to disappear. With 2 pounds of beef, you’re sure to have more beef than beans in this dish. It tastes even better on day 2. Lightly spiced, add a green salad and some Fritos on your plate for a full meal.” – Freda

“I had this at a church dinner. It’s very easy and very good.” – April
