Savory Hash
A hearty savory hash combining tender roast beef, potatoes, and onions in a flavorful beef broth, ideal for comforting meals and satisfying hungry appetites.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large pot or electric skillet, melt butter.
- Add diced cooked roast beef, diced potatoes, chopped onion, beef broth, salt, and black pepper.
- Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, approximately 30 minutes.
- Mix a small amount of cold water with cornstarch and stir into the hash to thicken slightly.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using leftover roast beef from a previous meal or adding spices like garlic powder or paprika. If you don't have cornstarch, flour can be used as a thickening agent instead. To enhance the dish, you could also incorporate vegetables such as bell peppers or carrots. If you're short on time, frozen diced potatoes work as a quick substitute.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Savory Hash with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a well-rounded meal. It pairs beautifully with Homemade White Castles for a hearty breakfast or brunch option. For a touch of freshness, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley when serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Savory Hash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of beef broth or water to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Frequently Asked Questions
