Ingredients(scaled)

  • 8 oz cooked beef, finely chopped
  • 2 1/2 cup kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 1/1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cup diced potatoes (or 1 medium small potato), pre-cooked and cubed
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, cheddar or your choice)
  • 2 large egg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp Greek yogurt, for topping
  • 2 tsp lemon juice or splash of hot sauce, to finish
  • 2 Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened, 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add pre-cooked beef and potatoes; season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook 3–4 minutes until warmed and slightly caramelized.
  3. Stir in kidney beans; cook 2 minutes until beans are heated through. Create a small well in the center.
  4. Crack the egg into the well; cook sunny-side up to your liking, or scramble with the rest for a firmer texture.
  5. Top with shredded cheese (if using) and a squeeze of lemon juice or hot sauce for brightness; finish with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Chef’s Pro Tips

  • Use leftover beef for extra flavor.
  • Add a handful of spinach at the end for green color and extra utils.
  • If no egg, mix in 1/4 cup Greek yogurt into the hash for creaminess.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of whole-grain toast or a small bowl of Greek yogurt for added protein and creaminess.
