Taco Hash Browns
submitted by Hicks502

This is a family favorite that gets made at least once a month.

Ingredients:

1 pound hamburger, browned and drained
1 pkg. taco seasoning (added to browned hamburger along with 1 cup water)
16-20 hash brown patties
2 c. cheddar, shredded
Optional add-ins... sour cream, salsa, jalapenos

Directions:

I don't let the water completely evaporate from the meat mixture. And I start the hash browns cooking in the oven (as directed on the pkg.) right before I start browning the hamburger.

When hamburger is done and seasoning has been added, the hash browns should also be done. Crumble hash browns in big bowl, add cheese and then the meat mixture (the extra seasoned water in the cooked beef will soak into the potatoes). Mix well.

Serve in bowls then you can add in whatever you want. I like sour cream, but my husband and son go all out and put in sour cream, salsa, jalapenos and whatever else you can find.
