This dish is best described as comfort food. With the cheesy ground beef layered atop a bed of buttery potatoes, you will keep coming back for more. I use a mandolin to thinly slice the potatoes.

nonstick cooking spray
3 cups thinly sliced, peeled potatoes
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound ground beef

POTATO NESTS



Potato Nests image

This is a cute breakfast idea for Easter Sunday. I must confess that I didn't make mine in muffin cups--I just used an 8 1/2 x 11" pan for the hash browns and egg and added the cooked bacon at the end. This is a simple recipe kids could help make. If you don't have savory seasoned hash browns--add your own seasonings. Recipe courtesy of Ore-Ida Foods.

Tips:

  • Use affordable cuts of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, and flank steak are all great options that are budget-friendly but still pack a lot of flavor.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with delicious flavors.
  • Cook the beef slowly: Slow cooking methods, such as braising or stewing, are ideal for tough cuts of beef. This allows the meat to break down and become fall-apart tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery are all great additions to beef dishes. They add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless ways to prepare beef. Try different cooking methods, seasonings, and ingredients to find your favorite recipes.
