One Pot Texas Hash
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice (uncooked)
- 2 cups beef broth (or water)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
-
Brown the beef: In a large pot or skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess grease.
-
Cook the veggies: Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the pot with the beef. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
-
Add the seasonings: Stir in the chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and bring out their flavor.
-
Add the liquids and rice: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, beef broth, and rice. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
-
Cook the hash: Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Check occasionally to make sure it’s not sticking to the bottom. If needed, add a bit more broth or water.
-
Finish and serve: Once the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top (if using) and let it melt for a couple of minutes.
-
Serve: Spoon the Texas hash onto plates and enjoy! You can garnish with chopped green onions, sour cream, or hot sauce if desired.
This One Pot Texas Hash is a hearty, flavorful dish that’s easy to make and clean up afterward. Perfect for a weeknight dinner! 🍽️
