Mel's Hash by Martha Wild King

Mel is an accountant and a very busy fellow, especially around tax time. Thus, an easy, quick dinner is his choice and mine, too. This meal will remind you of your Scouting days, when these ingredients were rolled into aluminum foil and buried in a bed of campfire coals for about 45 minutes, then opened steaming hot and eaten directly from the foil. But this time, Mel has brought this memorable dish to your kitchen with ease. Enjoy.

Mel's Hash by The Frugal Catholic

1 pound of ground beef

1 finely diced onion, or as much as you want

several finely diced carrots, or as many as you want

1 finely diced potato

salt and pepper to taste

Captain Mike starts Mel's Hash by browning the ground beef and leaving it in the oil.

Cook the ground beef, leaving the oil in, then add the onion and brown for about five minutes. Do the same with the carrots, then the potatoes, and add salt and pepper to taste.

After the beef is ground, the finely chopped onion, potatoes, and carrots are added and cooked until well combined.

Now cover and let simmer in its own juices for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until done to your liking.

As a P.S. note, most little ones like meat and potatoes, but ours doesn't do carrots just yet, so hold off on the veggies as needed. Also, it can be served over a bed of brown rice if you'd like more fiber and good stuff. Captain Mike likewise mentioned that soy sauce or Worcestershire would be a good addition, but truthfully, I like Mel's Hash as is. Simple!

John 3:16--For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life.
