Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 20 ounces frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- ½ teaspoon salt, plus additional for seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, plus additional for seasoning
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 8 ounces diced ham
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Cook the hash browns: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thawed hash browns and season with salt and black pepper. Cook the hash browns with minimal turning until they become golden brown and crispy, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Once done, remove the hash browns from the skillet and set aside. Wipe out the skillet to prepare for the next step.
- Cook the sausage and vegetables: In the same skillet, add ground pork sausage and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it into crumbles as it browns. Stir in the diced ham, diced white onion, and diced red bell pepper. Season with additional salt and black pepper. Continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned.
- Combine and add cheese: Return the cooked hash browns to the skillet and gently fold them into the sausage and vegetable mixture. Turn off the heat, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately: Serve your Loaded Breakfast Hash hot and enjoy while the cheese is perfectly melted.
