Danelle’s Hash Recipe
I shared this HASH recipe over on Instagram a few weeks ago. I call it Hash because my dad always did. I’m unsure if I have this correct, but I swear he said he used to make this in the marines. But, maybe I’m just making that up… which is quite possible. ???? Anyway, I had SO MANY of you say that you make a “version” of this and call it hash also. So I thought it would be fun to just document this recipe here, and if you make a version of this, drop whatever ingredient you add to this recipe in the comments below.
Some people said they add corn, tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup. Which all sound so tasty. Anyways.. this recipe, by all means, isn’t “healthy” but it sure is comforting, and a great go-to since it has three ingredients. Literally, this recipe takes about 10 mins prep and 10 mins cook time. I even hate calling it a recipe because it’s just so simple.
Danelle’s Hash Recipe
I’m not going to give you ingredient amounts because it all depends on how much you want it to make. I will give you the amounts we use to make this Hash for two people. And, we have leftovers. We love leftovers, btw. ????
Ingredients:
1 Package of Ground Beef
1 Medium Onion – Diced
4 -5 Potatoes (depending on size) – Cubed
Directions:
Brown the ground beef in a skillet with the diced onion until done. Drain if need be. We usually buy the ground beef with little fat.
Add the diced potatoes, 1/2 cup of water, tons of salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on low until the potatoes are done. The flavor of the hamburger marinates with the potatoes and is just so good.
Toppings
I LOVE to add carrots to the original recipe and add shredded cheese and sour cream to the top. OH MY GOSH…. SO YUMMY!
Let me know if you’ve made this before… and what you have put in it. Someone JUST messaged me over on Instagram saying they make this but they add stuff to make it Mexican-ish…. that sounded yummy, too.

We make this as a Mexican dish and add canned tomatoes. We grind our own spices of cumin, peppercorn and garlic and add that to the meat and potatoes with plenty of water and then let simmer until water half or more gone. Sooooo good!!
I make this dish and add Some shredded cabbage. I then serve it with sour cream with a little horseradish mixed in. Delish!
OH MY GOSH… That sounds delicious.
Absolutely delicious with added raw cabbage. Sauté until t3nder. No water.
I make a similar version. I brown the beef and onion in a beef bouillon or two then add potatoes and a whole can of green beans, juice and all. Simmer till potatoes are done. The person I got the recipe from years ago named it’dog food’????
Yes! I’ve made this for many years and my husband loves it. I don’t add any other ingredients. Simple is best, in my opinion.
Well here in Arizona we put in a can of Rotel and chop up a few jalapeños and sometimes add chorizo then roll it up with cheese and sour cream in a flour tortilla. Mexican mash up!
OH MY GOSH…. that sounds yummy!
I add a can of rotel to this exact recipe and a little but of cumin-you are correct, it is delish and super easy-we’ve always called it “Meat and Potatoes” but now we will call it Hash, lol, in honor of YOU GUYS! Yay, thanks for sharing
hahahah oh yummy… rotel would be excellent in it.
I have made this and put a whole bag of frozen mixed vegetables in it. My husband likes it like you make it with A-1 on it. I like the cheese and sour cream idea. Now I am craving it and need hamburger to make it!
hahahah yummy.. your way sounds delicious too.
I make something similar to this. I use chicken broth instead of water and add butter or oil along with bell pepper and onion. Cover it and then let the potatoes brown in the butter/oil. I add precooked, chopped sausage links. For breakfasts I add eggs to the top, cover it and cook 3-5 minutes. We love this for breakfast or supper.
Oh my gosh.. that sounds DELISH.
My grandmother made a version of this she called stew. It actually had a formal name, but my brain seems to have lost it. It’s the same as Deb’s hash only with lots more water to make… well a stew. Or soup if you prefer. Whenever my hubs goes away for a few days I make this as a treat for myself. Sometimes I add celery, but I always add a tablespoon or two of butter just before I serve it… to myself. with hot bread. Because my husband wouldn’t be caught dead eating this. My Grams was from Indiana… as am I, and now I’m wondering if this is an Indiana thing? At any rate, it is SO delicious! To me it’s better on the second day after the meat and potatoes meld together in a flavor that only Hoosiers will love. Or maybe Midwest peeps. Cause we know how to EAT.
hahaha YES… HASH is SO GOOD the next day!
