Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 20 ounces frozen shredded hash browns (thawed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (divided)

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 8 ounces diced ham
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Hash Browns: Melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 20 ounces of thawed shredded hash browns and season them with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook without excessive flipping until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from skillet, set aside, and wipe out the pan.
  2. Cook the Meats and Vegetables: Add 1 pound of ground pork sausage to the clean skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart into crumbles as it browns. Stir in 8 ounces diced ham, 1 diced medium white onion, and 1 diced medium red bell pepper. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Continue cooking for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and are lightly browned.
  3. Combine Hash Browns with Meat Mixture: Return the crisped hash browns to the skillet and gently fold them into the sausage, ham, and vegetable mixture. Turn off the heat once combined.
  4. Add Cheese and Serve: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the skillet mixture. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes before serving immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure hash browns are properly thawed for even cooking and crispiness.
  • Use a large skillet to comfortably mix and cook all ingredients evenly.
  • You can substitute ground pork sausage with turkey sausage or breakfast sausage according to preference.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or smoked paprika to the meat mixture.
  • Serve with eggs or hot sauce for a complete breakfast experience.
