Ingredients
- • Ground pork: 1 pound
- • Ground beef: 1 pound
- • Garlic, minced: 2 cloves
- • Onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • Fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Eggs: 2
- • Panko breadcrumbs: 1/2 cup
- • Shredded cheddar cheese: 2 cups
- • Frozen hash browns: 3 cups
- • Butter: 2 tablespoons
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Chopped chives: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix until well combined.
- 3 Shape the mixture into small meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball.
- 4 In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the meatballs until they are browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
- 5 In the same skillet, add butter and allow it to melt. Add the frozen hash browns, spreading them evenly across the skillet. Press down slightly with a spatula to create an even layer.
- 6 Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns, then place the seared meatballs back into the skillet, nestling them into the cheesy hash browns.
- 7 Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- 8 Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped chives before serving hot.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve this indulgent breakfast skillet with a side of fresh fruit for a touch of sweetness that balances the savory richness. A dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce can add even more flavor to the meatballs and hash browns. For a refreshing beverage pairing, consider a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a robust cup of coffee to complement the hearty flavors.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, place the skillet contents into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through, to maintain the crispy texture of the hash browns. Alternatively, you can reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
