Good Budget Meal: Hamburger Hash

I love eating breakfast for dinner--I mean, what can be simpler? Then factor in how eggs really are a great source of protein and you're good to go! I like Eggsland's Best Eggs because they have the extra Omege-3 boost that we all need; I buy the brown ones usually, and the quality is pretty consistent.

But I digress...here's a recipe for a different way to use ground beef instead of the usual hamburger or pasta meat sauce. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, diced ½? cubes
1 small green pepper, diced small
1 small red pepper, diced small
1 15-oz. can diced potatoes, rinsed and drained well
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Warm one tablespoon of olive oil in medium pan; add ground beef until cooked through. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan; sauté onion and green and red peppers over medium-low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add potatoes and garlic to the vegetables; mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add beef to hash mixture. Cook on one side until potatoes and onions caramelize (brown) on the edges, about 5 minutes. Flip over and brown the other side.
Remove from heat. Delicious paired with eggs and ketchup.
