Texas Hash
The hash about this hash
You can fix this recipe to suit the size of your crowd and the likes of their palettes. Some like it spicy, and some don’t. So just adjust the seasonings and the taste to suit yourself and your gang. This is a one dish meal and you can finish it on top of the stove or let it bake in the oven. You choose.
You’ll need onions, peppers, olive oil, canned tomatoes, uncooked rice, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Oh yes, you’ll need some hamburger. If you’ve got some already fried, drained and in the freezer, you can make quick work of this meal.
Saute your onion, green peppers and garlic (optional) in olive oil or butter. Add hamburger (previously fried and drained), tomatoes, rice, and seasonings. The recipe doesn’t call for corn, but I added a can of drained corn to the skillet.
Stir, cover, and simmer until the rice is done, OR you can put it into the oven and bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes.
Serve this over tortilla chips or rice – or both.
This recipe is from one of my most-used cookbooks: Mennonite Community Cookbook. I’ve adapted it somewhat.

The Mennonite Community Cookbook is one of my favorite cookbooks. I received mine as a wedding gift. If I could choose, I’d get one with the spiral binding because it’s easier to keep open. Amazon has free shipping, so you can’t go wrong on these choices.
