Make a Banker Feel Like A Cowboy Beef and Potato Hash!

Pin It Now! For dinner last night, I intended on roasting a whole chicken. Needless to say, after a long day at work, riding a train sans air conditioning on a hot, hot Philadelphia Day, the very last thing I wanted to do upon arriving home to a panting hound doggie was roast a chicken for 2 hours in my very warm house.

So, this left me kind of scrambling. What to do?! I plan on absolutely using the Mahi Mahi for Friday's dinner... and really should use the chicken... but we're just going to wing it once again!

What came out of this quasi-starved-but-lazy-desperation?! This beef and potato hash, which DapperDan said made him feel like a cowboy! Cute :-)

I, therefore, name this dish:

Make a Banker Feel Like a Cowboy Beef and Potato Hash
Yields: 4 to 6 servings


Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
4 potatoes- peeled, cooked, and diced
1 TBS fresh parsley- chopped
1 medium white onion- chopped
1/2 cup of skim milk
2 TBS butter
1 beer (I used a lager)
A dash (or two) of Italian Seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste!

Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef in the beer (if you're me.. it ends up being only half of a beer because I drank the other half.. whoops!!).
2. Cook until 2/3 of the way finished. Remove from skillet. Drain on paper towel.
3. Place butter in the skillet, once it melts, add all of the ingredients, cooking on medium-high for approximately 5 minutes, stir, and cook for another 4 or 5 minutes.

Definitely not a glamorous dish, but hey, a dish doesn't have to be fancy schmancy to be yummy! Especially a "manly" dish such as this!!

Side note:

By the way Daisy Mae the lazy hound dog was behaving last night, you would think she ate some of this filling, manly hash, too!

Silly girl, sleeping under the nightstand


Silly pants!



Ooh! A blurry paparazzi shot.. Yes, I'm talking about YOU, hound dog



What a tough life you lead, Daisy Mae (oh and ignore those mirrors on the floor.. we'll be hanging them on the wall soon enough!!)

  6. hey, there is nothing wrong with Texas hash, not after a little beer anyway and this is something any man would like - meat & potatoes, are you kidding?
