Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 20 oz shredded hash browns
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 10 oz enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded

Toppings

  • Shredded lettuce (as desired)
  • Diced tomatoes (as desired)
  • Diced avocados (as desired)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Hashbrowns: In a large skillet, cook the shredded hash browns according to the package directions until they are fully cooked and slightly crispy.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: In a separate skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease if necessary.
  3. Add Corn and Enchilada Sauce: Stir in the frozen corn kernels and enchilada sauce with the browned ground beef. Cook together for a few minutes until the mixture is thoroughly heated.
  4. Combine and Add Cheese: Pour the beef and enchilada sauce mixture evenly over the cooked hashbrowns in the large skillet. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly over the top.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Cover the skillet and let it cook on low heat for a few minutes until the cheese has melted completely.
  6. Serve with Toppings: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and diced avocados as desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner alternative.
  • Adding jalapeños or green chilies can give an extra spicy kick to the dish.
  • For a vegetarian version, use a plant-based ground meat substitute and vegetable enchilada sauce.
  • Make sure to cover the skillet to help the cheese melt evenly and keep the dish warm.
