Ingredients

  • 1½ lb 90% lean ground beef
  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns
  • 2 count eggs
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 5 oz spring mix
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing

Steps

  1. Thaw the hash browns in the microwave for 1-2 minutes and squeeze out any moisture with a towel.
  2. In a bowl, gently mix the beef, hash browns, eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper. Shape into 8 patties about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in two batches of 4, 4-5 minutes per side, until crisp and 160°F inside. Keep the first batch warm on a plate.
  4. Halve the tomatoes and toss with the spring mix and ranch dressing.
  5. Serve two patties per person with ketchup for dipping and the ranch salad on the side.
  6. Picky eater tip: Serve a plain patty with ketchup and keep the salad separate.
  7. Make ahead: Shape the patties up to 1 day ahead and keep them covered in the fridge, or cook them and reheat in a skillet.

On the side: Quick slaw (5 min)

1 bag coleslaw mix, 1 bottle coleslaw dressing

  1. Toss the coleslaw mix with the dressing. Let it sit a few minutes before serving.
