Ingredients
FOR THE HASHBROWN WAFFLES:
- 1 16 ounce package Sprouts Organic Frozen Hashbrowns thawed
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 ounce packet taco seasoning mix or blend your own
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese divided
- 1 bunch green onions divided, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 pound ground beef preferably 85/15 grass fed
- 4 ounces green chiles or hatch chiles
- 3 tablespoons water
- sour cream
- cilantro chopped
OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL TOPPINGS:
- salsa
- avocado diced
- tomatoes diced
- black olives sliced
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 300°.
- Lay a clean dish towel on a flat surface. Spread the hashbrown down the middle of the towel and spread out with your fingers. Roll the dish towel up (longer side first) with the hashbrowns inside, into a tight cylinder. Twist the ends of the towel over the sink to ring as much liquid from the hash browns as possible.
- Transfer hash browns to a bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning and butter. Toss to combine. Add 1 cup of the cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of sliced green onions. Toss to combine.
- Heat the waffle iron. Spray the grates with vegetable spray to prevent sticking. Mound a heaping half cup of potatoes into each waffle slot. Close the lid and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the waffles are very crispy and browned. Remove waffles to a platter and keep warm in the oven. Continue with the remaining potatoes.
- While the waffle hash browns are cooking, heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Spray with vegetable spray and add the onions, cooking for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are softened and translucent. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, stirring occaasionally.
- Add the hatch chiles, remainder of the taco seasoning and water. Cook until the meat is well seasoned and fragrant.
