How do you make Taco Seasoned Ground Beef and Sweet Potato Hash?
This beef breakfast hash meal prep is quick, giving you 4 servings in under 30 minutes. It may be a quick recipe, but the flavors say otherwise.
Start by heating olive oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat, adding sweet potatoes to cook for 10 minutes covered. Stir the potatoes occasionally. Next, move sweet potatoes to one side and add ground beef. Break the ground beef up into small pieces and stir in onion and dry seasonings. Cook the sweet potato and beef mixture uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
As your hash cooks in the pan, whisk your eggs and almond milk together in a medium-sized bowl. Set eggs and milk aside to finish the hash. The last thing to do with the beef and sweet potato hash is to add spinach, turn off the heat, cover, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. After the hash, wipe out the pan and reheat more olive oil to cook the scrambled eggs. Now, it's time to portion your meals!
