Hamburger Hash Brown Recipe

I made this recipe once and everyone LOVED it (even my two preschoolers)! I also have tried it with ground turkey (less than half the calories and fat) and it was still remarkably good. I love that you don't have to brown the ground beef first!

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 4-6
• Yields: 1 casserole

Ingredients

• 1  lb lean ground beef
• 1  cup  chopped onion
• 1 (14 1/2ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
• 2  teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1⁄2 cups corn kernels
• 16  ounces frozen hash browns or 16  ounces  to 4 cups diced or sliced raw potatoes
• 1⁄4 cup flour
• 1  green bell pepper, chopped
• 4  tablespoons margarine, melted
• 2  cups  shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Combine beef, onion, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine corn, potatoes, flour, and chopped green bell pepper. Add the melted margarine.
2. Spray 13 X 9 X 2 inch pan with non stick spray. Pat the beef mixture into baking pan; top with the corn and potato mixture. Bake uncovered at 375°F for 45 minutes; sprinkle with the cheese and bake ground beef casserole 15 to 20 minutes longer, until potatoes seem done.
3. I usually drain the casserole of the fat two times during cooking, once at about 20 minutes and again before I add the cheese (if your using beef, turkey doesn't usually make much fat).
