I had hamburger meat thawed and didn't know what I wanted to do with it. I threw this dish together and it was a hit at our table. Super easy and tasty! Just add a green leafy salad or a green veggie of your liking and a dinner roll.

How To Make quick and easy hamburger hash

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brown beef and onions. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
    2
    In a heavy (oven-safe) skillet over medium heat, brown beef and onions. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Drain off excess oil or blot it out with paper towels. NOTE: I used a cast iron skillet.
  • Fry potatoes until they start browning.
    3
    Meanwhile, in another skillet over medium/high heat, coat the bottom of the skillet with oil. Heat oil. Add potatoes to hot oil. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Fry potatoes until they start browning. They need to be almost done. They will continue cooking in the oven. NOTE: If there is excess oil, slide potatoes to the side and blot excess oil up with paper towels.
  • Add cream of mushroom soup, cheese, and potatoes to beef. Top with remaining cheese.
    4
    Add cream of mushroom soup to beef. Stir to mix. Add potatoes and 1 cup of cheese. Toss to mix. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake until bubbly.
    5
    Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. Should be bubbly around the edges of the skillet before you remove it from the oven. This time is based on all ingredients being hot before going into the oven.
