Lazy Sunday Hash

Sunday Night Dinner Solved

Now that we’re in January, our family drives north for skiing every weekend. We love it - the cabin is cozy, we put the fire on, the kids head out to ski with their friends all day long, leaving quiet days for me and the option for fresh air and exercise at my fingertips. We love this routine, and the winter months pass by quickly.

But what I don’t love about this routine is the Sunday night drive back to the city, the late night laundry and the coming home to a bare fridge with nothing to eat. My Sunday Scaries are the realest.

Enter: Lazy Sunday Hash.

This could very well be your breakfast, but for us, it’s a simple and satisfying dinner.

All you need to do is throw everything into a skillet. So easy, and so crispy, crunchy, golden delicious. The whole family loved it.

All you need are store bought hash browns, cheddar cheese, an onion, bell peppers, a few eggs. Mix it all together with a few spices and you've got your dinner situation sorted!

Lazy Sunday Hash

Ingredients:

• 1 small red bell pepper

• 1 small green bell pepper

• 1 small onion

• 3 cups frozen hash browns (We used @mccaincanada brand)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 2 tbsp pickled jalapeños (optional: if you like a little ‘kick’)

• 6 eggs

• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1 green onion or chives, for garnish (optional)

  Directions:

1. Dice the bell peppers and white parts of green onion. (I am obsessed with this new little chopper I found on Amazon). To a large pan over medium heat, add 1 tsbp oil and your peppers and onion. Cook for about 2 minutes and remove from pan. To the same pan, add another 1 tbsp oil and your hash browns with 1/2 tsp salt. Mix well and keep cooking until golden brown (about 10 minutes).

2. While your hashbrowns cook, grate your cheese. Crack your eggs into a small bowl and beat them until just mixed you aren't trying to get air in them. Heat a medium non stick pan over meidum heat. Add 1 tbsp butter. When the butter has melted and starts to bubble slightly, add in your eggs with 1 tsp salt and a good amount of black pepper. Stir every 30 seconds gently with a spatula just to remove the eggs from the bottom and gently mix them. Once eggs are 80% cooked - still a touch runny but mostly firmed - remove from heat.

3. Once your hash browns are golden brown and slightly crispy, add back your veggies, along with 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder and 2 tbsp pickled jalapeño (if using). Mix well, then add cooked eggs and cheese, mix until just incorporated and the cheese is melty and remove from heat.

   Top with green onions and serve with your favourite hot sauce or ketchup!
