Texas Hash
Description
Texas Hash brings together essential ingredients like ground beef, onions, green pepper, canned tomatoes with juice, and uncooked long grain rice. These are cooked initially on the stovetop to soften and blend flavors, then transferred to the oven where the rice absorbs the tomato juices and spices during baking. The chili powder and Worcestershire sauce enhance the savory notes, while garlic adds depth. Topping the baked dish with shredded cheddar cheese introduces a melted richness that complements the hearty texture of the rice and beef.
The baking step ensures the rice cooks through and all flavors meld, leaving a tender, flavorful one-pan dish. This meal works well as a standalone dish, providing protein, vegetables, and carbohydrates in one skillet, reducing the need for side dishes.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container, making Texas Hash convenient for reheating and enjoying again. The recipe yields about five cups, suitable for multiple servings.
