A hearty baked hash combining tender potatoes, carrots, onions, and leftover roast beef, seasoned to taste and baked until golden and flavorful—perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix potatoes, canned carrots, chopped onion, leftover roast beef, salt, and pepper together in a casserole dish.
- Add Worcestershire sauce if desired.
- Bake until vegetables are tender and top is browned, about 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful baked hash, consider adding garlic powder or paprika to the mix. If you don't have canned carrots, you can use fresh ones; just cook them briefly before adding to soften. For a vegetarian version, substitute leftover roast beef with cooked lentils or beans. You can also try adding some chopped bell peppers or green beans for extra veggies.
Serving Suggestions
Baked hash is hearty on its own, but you can serve it with a side salad for freshness or crusty bread to soak up the flavors. It pairs beautifully with Beef Noodle Vegetable Soup for a comforting meal. For a touch of creaminess, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a microwave-safe dish and heat on medium power until warmed through, or bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until hot, about 20 minutes. This dish can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
