Ingredients
Instructions
- In a very large pot, cook the beef and pork roasts until done.
- Let the cooked meats cool, then pull the meat from the bones and chop or shred into small pieces.
- Put the shredded meat back into the pot; you may need to add more water.
- Chop the onions and potatoes into small pieces and add them to the pot.
- Add the sliced fat back and pour in the pint of apple cider vinegar.
- Mash the sausage with your hand and add it to the pot.
- Stir until the sausage is well mixed with the other ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 hours.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of beef and pork roasts with a bit of marbling. If you want to lighten the dish, substitute turkey sausage for the pork sausage. You can also add vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for extra nutrition. If you're short on time, pre-cooked meats can be used, although the flavor will be different from slow-cooked meats.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Daddy's Hash hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with a side of crusty bread or a simple salad, like Cousin Patti'S Salad, for a refreshing contrast. This dish is hearty enough to stand alone but can also be accompanied by pickles for added crunch.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the hash in a pot over medium heat, adding a splash of water if it appears too thick. Stir occasionally until heated through. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 3 months and reheat directly from frozen.
