For this wrecipe, I decided to make things a little bit more simple for myself. Instead of adding peppers, I opted to use a southwest style hash brown mix that already has those things included.
While the hash browns cooked in the oil/butter, begin browning the meat and cooking the onions.
Look at all these seasonings! This skillet meal has robust flavor. You’re welcome!
