Ground Beef Texas Hash
Texas Hash is a great meal you can make for dinner when there's a large group eating and you're wanting something a little different. It smells great while cooking and really warms up their appetites. It's easy to vary the recipe and get your own favorite version. I have other versions where I add in things but this is the base version and usually the one that everyone likes (I like to add sauteed mushrooms which is NOT a big hit with the picky men in my family so when I do this, I put them all on one corner.)
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 can stewed tomatoes
- 3 Tablespoons chilli powder
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 or 2 large bell peppers, green or red or both
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 1.5 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil, (olive oil preferred)
- Add 1 T of oil to skilled, add chopped onions, garlic and peppers- simmer/sautee until just soft. 3-4 minutes (don't wait until onions are carmelized) and set aside
- brown ground beef in other skilled so you can drain the grease without losing the juices of the onions and peppers
- add meat to onion pepper mixture, add chilli powder and stewed tomatoes (if you prefer fresh tomatoes then sautee them with the onions and here had 4-6 oz of tomato sauce to keep it a little soupy) cook, uncovered for 5 to 6 minutes.
- cook spagetti (or other noodles) for half of it's cooking time, if package says boil 6 minutes, then boil it 3 minutes. then drain and place in a casserole dish
- layer the beef mixture over the spaghetti and place in oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. The liquid from the meat will finish cooking the noodles. Then take it out, top it off with cheddar cheese and place back in oven for 3-5 minutes to melt the cheese. (sliced american cheese is an acceptable replacement)
