Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Broth

  • 1 lb ground beef (lean or regular)
  • 1 cup beef broth

Vegetables

  • 3 cups diced Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Flavorings and Spices

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat to prevent greasiness.
  2. Prepare the Veggies: While the beef is browning, dice the potatoes, chop the onion, slice the bell peppers, and mince the garlic to have all ingredients ready to add to the slow cooker.
  3. Combine Ingredients in the Slow Cooker: Add the browned beef, diced vegetables, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and all the spices into the slow cooker. Stir gently to evenly distribute everything.
  4. Slow Cook on Low: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours until the potatoes are tender and the flavors meld together beautifully.
  5. Finish and Serve: Give the hash a final stir, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your Slow-Cooker Hamburger Hash.

Notes

  • Brown the Meat First: Enhances flavor and reduces greasiness in the final dish.
  • Uniform Chopping: Chop potatoes and vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Don’t Overfill: Leave space in the slow cooker for proper heat circulation.
  • Add Delicate Ingredients Late: For quick-cooking veggies like peas, add them during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for a bright, fresh flavor.
