Why Slow Cooker Hamburger Hash Is a Go-To Family Meal

What sets this Hamburger Hash apart is its deeply savory, home-style flavors layered together through slow cooking.

With no fancy techniques or rare ingredients, this meal proves that sometimes, the classics really are the most satisfying.

Streamlining Prep With Handy Tools

While the slow cooker does the hard work, prepping your vegetables can be lightning fast. For quick, uniform chopping, a tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes easy work of dicing potatoes, onions, and bell peppers, saving precious time and energy.

Browning the beef before adding it to your slow cooker is crucial for enhanced flavor. Reach for a reliable SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch to ensure even, fuss-free browning with minimal sticking.

Breaking up ground meat efficiently can be done with the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher, ensuring perfectly crumbled beef for even distribution throughout your hash.

For storing leftovers or meal prepping in advance, the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 are ideal for keeping your hash fresh and ready to reheat.

How to Make Slow Cooker Hamburger Hash

Choosing starchy russet potatoes or waxy Yukon golds gives you options for your preferred texture—fluffy or creamy. Onions and bell peppers lend sweetness and color. Feel free to customize with your favorite frozen veggies or even toss in a handful of shredded cheese before serving.

6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Store any leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for up to three days in the fridge.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Hamburger Hash with crusty bread or a refreshing salad for a balanced meal. A sprinkle of scallions or a dash of hot sauce can add extra flair. It’s a substantial dish on its own, but a crisp green salad or tangy pickles make ideal accompaniments.
