We call it, " Indian Hash"

This is an old family favorite that my grampa taught to my dad, and he taught to me. Then I spent some time on the reservation and learned a few more secrets. There are many variations of this quick and easy dinner, but I'm gonna share with you my favorite.

We call it Indian Hash and I have had it at many a home or party while I was living on the Rez. I really don't know why they call it hash, unless it is the potatoes. It's no matter really, because it is easy to make and really filling. It is really a meal all in itself, and when you try it, you'll be hooked too.

Some of the ingredients are pretty flexible. to make it quickly use instant mashed potatoes. you can get them ready while you cook the meat. If you wish to use fresh mashed potatoes, prepare them ahead of time, it's easier and saves time when your in a hurry. I like the use of pork sausage, but it's not solid rule, the ground beef can be any grade you can afford, ground chuck is less greasy. You can use the corn or not. You can use canned corn, but make sure you drain the water out before you add it to the pan. You can even serve the corn on the side, but if you want a veggie with it, the corn is the only way to go.

Ingredients:

4-6 cups Mashed Potatoes
1 lb ground chuck
1 lb pork sausage
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1 large onion sliced and quartered

Directions:

In a large frying pan break up sausage and ground chuck, throw in onion and fry until meat is completely cooked.

Drain off excess grease retaining a couple teaspoons.

Return pan to heat and mix in the potatoes and corn.

Cook to desired doneness. Some people like to just get everything up to the same temperature, Some like to get the potatoes brownd off. There really is no wrong way to finish this stuff. (with the exception of burning it to a cinder!)

Serve right from the pan.

EAT IT!

After Thoughts:

Serve with ketchup. I don't know anyone who doesn't put ketchup on this stuff!

Goes amazingly well with an ice cold glass of milk.

Reheats great, so you can make a lot and eat it all week if you so desire!
