Notes

There is no need to accurately measure for this recipe. Have fun with it and make changes and season to taste. I highly recommend using whatever cooked leftover meat you have rather than cooking a chicken breast, pork chop, or turkey specifically for the recipe. Not only will this use up your leftovers, but it will save you a lot of time and another dirty dish.
  • Optional ingredients: mushrooms, cooked shredded chicken or turkey, cooked thinly sliced pork or beef steak, crumbled bacon, various herbs and spices
  • Try this hash with an egg and avocado aioli on top.
