Easy Breakfast Hash with Ham & Pepper

This breakfast hash comes together in a snap and it tastes amazing. Frozen hash browns, salty Canadian bacon, peppers and onions all crisped up together in one pan and topped with an egg or two!

This breakfast hash has been on repeat for a while now and for good reason. It comes together fast enough for a weekday breakfast but feels like a special occasion meal. Flavor is spot on, texture is perfect. I use Trader Joe’s frozen shredded hash browns because they are just the best frozen hash browns. They don’t have a lot of preservatives, they crisp up beautifully and are priced fairly. Sounds like a lot of wins to me. It also feels perfect for this lost week between Christmas and New Years. Let’s make it!

Ingredients

Easy breakfast hash

• Trader Joe’s shredded frozen potato hash browns
• Green bell pepper
• Onion
• Canadian bacon
• Everyday seasoning or you can use salt and pepper
• Sunflower oil

Toppings

• Eggs
• Ketchup
• Hot sauce
• Cilantro

Options

You can sub red, orange or yellow bell pepper for green if you want. You could also use ham instead of canadian bacon. I love the flavor my everyday seasoning blend adds to this dish but you can just sprinkle with salt and pepper if you don’t have it. All toppings are optional but highly recommended.

You don’t have to use Trader Joe’s shredded hash browns, any frozen shredded hash brown should do!

How to make breakfast hash

Heat oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Add peppers and onions and cook for about 2-3 minutes, then add the hash browns. Stir everything together, then flatten out in a an layer.

Add the diced canadian bacon on top of the hash browns in an even layer.

Once the potatoes begin to brown, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Slide out on a plate and use the pan to cook eggs.

Enjoy with ketchup and hot sauce for the full experience. Cilantro is totally optional as I mostly just added it for looks but it actually does taste nice all together!
