This dish is perfect if you’re looking for something a little different for dinner.  It also makes a great addition to a brunch menu.  It gets a unique, savory, spicy flavor from our Salsa Verde.  Because you start with hash browns, it’s easier than ever to pull together.  It takes only 10 minutes to assemble and then you just pop in the oven.

Ingredients

cost per recipe: $11.01

  • 1 package (30 ounces) frozen country style hash brown potatoes (shredded potatoes)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
  • 8 ounces fully-cooked ham (we used a ham steak), diced
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) Pace® Salsa Verde
  • 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)

Instructions

    OK, so I joined (which was a painful process) just to review this dish...which was absolutely, unexpectedly awesome, especially when topped with an over easy egg. Make it, you won't be disappointed!

  • Delicious!

    Just made this for dinner tonight as I had a lot of leftover ham. So easy and delicious!...and I don't even like spicy foods all that much. I did substitute chopped onion for onion powder and sprinkled a bit of garlic powder as someone else suggested--those were my only changes. Top with sour cream and dig in!

  • This is going to be a staple in our house

    I thought the basic idea of this recipe was good, but I did a couple things differently. I just mixed all 7 cups of potatoes in with the rest of the ingredients. I added 1/2 cup sour cream and that gave it a nice creamy flavor. I also added 1/4-1/2 tsp of garlic powder and used onion powder instead of the onion for my picky eaters. I also added some cheese on top about 5 minutes before pulling it out of the oven. Adding a couple cooked scrambled eggs is a nice way to fill it out a bit more. It's also good with red salsa, I puree mine for about a minute before mixing in.
