Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the onion and green pepper.
- Mince the garlic.
- Dice the tomato.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add a small amount of oil or non-stick spray to the skillet.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet.
- Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions and garlic.
- Cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked through. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the diced green pepper, diced tomato, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Sprinkle in the ground cumin, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Stir to evenly distribute the spices, ensuring all the ingredients are well coated.
- Continue to cook the mixture for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and flavors have melded together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a bit more salt or pepper if you prefer.
- Serve the hamburger hash hot. It can be enjoyed on its own, with a side of rice, or over a bed of lettuce for a low-carb option.
Tips:
- Use lean ground beef (80/20%) to keep the dish healthier while still retaining moisture and flavor.
- Dice the vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and a balanced texture throughout the dish.
- If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of cumin or paprika slightly to suit your taste preferences.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño along with the other vegetables.
- To save time, you can pre-chop the vegetables and store them in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
This Lean Hamburger Hash with Cumin, Peppers, and Mushrooms is not only delicious but also nutritious. The combination of flavors from the cumin, paprika, and fresh vegetables ensures a dish that is both comforting and exciting.
