Creamy Beef Hash Brown Balls #5FIX

Submitted by Jala-Peno

"5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. Tasty ground beef mixed with a soft Italian sweet cream cheese rolled in Simply Potatoes Hash Browns and baked to a golden brown. The crispiness of the potatoes is a great contrast to the creamy beef. This can be made into small meatballs as a great appetizer, or layered in a casserole dish for the main entree dish."

ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) package Simply Potatoes® Shredded Hash Browns

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

4. In a separate bowl, add soy sauce with the ground beef and use hands to mix together.
5. Cook beef with soy sauce in a skillet on medium heat for about 5 minutes until browned. Remove from heat and drain any excess grease.
6. Add package of mascarpone cheese to the beef and mix well.
7. Take about a tablespoon of the hash brown mix and cup it in your fingers of one hand. Then place about 2 tablespoons of the cooked beef on top of the potatoes. Finally top with an other tablespoon of hash browns on top of the beef and form everything into a ball.
8. Place the ball onto a greased baking tray and repeat with remaining ingredients forming more meatballs.
