What is Texas Hash?

Texas Hash is a ground beef recipe that is usually cooked with rice, peppers, tomatoes, and some spices.

What can I substitute if I do not want to cook with rice?

If you are on a low-carb or Keto diet, use cauliflower rice in lieu of rice for this Texas Hash Recipe!

Tips on how to make Easy Skillet Texas Hash:

  • Use gluten-free Success rice that is ready in 10 minutes.
  • Brown rice works well too!
  • I have found it easier to make the rice and add into the dish, ensures perfect rice.
  • Feel free to add in other veggies your family loves like mushrooms and broccoli.
  • Use ground sirloin, turkey or chicken.  For this who are vegetarians, crumbled Tofu works well too!

  • 2 teaspoon fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 ounces low-fat shredded Mexican cheese
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Cook rice according to package, set aside.
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef. Also, break up the beef as it browns.
  • Drain any excess grease from the browned beef.
  • To the browned beef in the skillet, add the onion, red pepper, orange pepper and jalapeno. Saute to soften the vegetables, around 5 minutes.  Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute.
  • Add to the skilled, fire roasted diced tomatoes and its juices, corn, tomato sauce, tomato paste, cooked rice, ground chipotle pepper, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Give a good stir to the ingredients. Turn heat to low, put a lid on the skillet and simmer for about 15 minutes. 
  • After 15 minutes, remove lid and stir mixture. Check the seasoning, adjust if needed. Top the beef with the shredded Mexican cheese, cover the skillet with the lid. Let cheese melt, around 1-2 minutes. Remove lid, sprinkle with the fresh parsley or cilantro.
  • Serve immediately with Texas toast or cornbread.

Notes

Note 1: Brown rice can be used.
Note 2: Start with ½ teaspoon of chili powder. Add more depending on how spicy you like your food.
  • To drain grease, I use a slotted spoon and paper towel lined bowl. I scoop the beef out with a slotted spoon to the paper-lined plate. Any excess grease in the skillet, remove and discard.

    On this Easy Skillet Texas Hash recipe, you say "See Note" beside the Chili Powder. I do not see the note. Is it important.

      Hi Martha, I fixed the note for the chili powder. I noted that I start with 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder. Add more chili powder if your prefer a bit spicier.
