Pulled Pork Hash

Yesterday I cooked up a couple of pork chops in the slow cooker (added a little water and homemade BBQ sauce, then cooked on low for 7 hours ish), and turned them into pulled pork. M is not big on straight up pork chops, so I thought I would try to cook them this way and it worked! You could tell they were leaner than normal pulled pork, but not in a bad way. We ate the meat on buns - YUM! Tonight I was trying to come up with something to make with the leftover pork. I was debating between pasta or a hash type meal. I decided to go with the hash - good choice! This meal is quick, easy, uses up leftovers (you can subsititute the pork for whatever meat you have kicking around in the fridge - chicken, sausage, etc), and viturally foolproof. Plus - you can modify it to whatever you feel like throwing in the pan. Start with an onion, some potatoes, leftover meat, then go from there. Use your imagination with this one. Open the fridge, scour for possibilites and before you know it, you'll have a delicious homemade dinner on the table. Enjoy!

Leftover Meat Hash
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1/2 each red and orange pepper, diced
  • 2 large potatoes, diced
  • 1-2 cups leftover meat
  • sprinkle garlic salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • few splashes hot sauce (*optional)
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce or condiment of choice (that compliments the meat...you might want extra if your leftover meat doesn't already have some saue)
1. In a cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and peppers and cook until soft. Toss in potatoes, cover, and cook about 7-8 minutes, or until potatoes are soft (stirring every 1-2 minutes).
2. Remove cover and add meat. Stir to combine, then season with desired garlic salt, pepper, hot sauce, etc.
3. Turn heat to med high and push mixture down in pan. Cook for 2 minutes and stir (the bottom will be starting to crisp). Repeat this step 4 times or so.
4. Once you have your desired crispness, remove from heat and serve immediately. ENJOY!
