Shopping Around The World

Posted on July 29, 2015 by onespoiledcat

WANNA SEE OTHER SHOPPERS? VISIT BACON BY CLICKING ABOVE!!

WHAT? A second post on the same day? Yeah, I know……but once in a while we HAVE to do that right? This time it’s because it’s Bacon and Fozziemum’s SHOP UNTIL YOU DROP day and we’re supposed to talk about and show a photo of another one of our “go to” meals with prices for at least FIVE of the ingredients to share!!

Mom is rather famous for whipping up a FAST dinner when she needs to. Something that may even sound a bit weird/strange but which (according to her and Dad anyway) tastes yummy and fills the tummy.

Today’s contribution is something Mom calls “Hamburger Hashbrowns”……………….what the heck is that? Well I’ll tell you!

First of all here’s the ingredients:

1. Hamburger

80% lean ground beef $3.99 per pound

2. Hash Brown Potatoes

Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns $3.15

3. Vidalia Onions (or ANY onion but we love vidalias!)

Half cup chopped onion (or more if you love onions!) a 5-lb. bag costs us $4.99

4. Cheddar Cheese

This is an optional item but my parents are cheese freaks so it’s ALWAYS in our food!

They like SHARP cheddar – they bought an 8 oz. block of CABOT Sharp Cheddar for $1.67

5. Salt and pepper to taste

EASY PEASY RECIPE:

Brown burger in skillet – add onions to soften them………….remove from skillet and set aside while you prepare the bag of hash browns according to package directions (easy!)………..when hash browns are brown (haha), add the burger and onions back into the skillet and mix well………….then if you like cheese, you can mix some shredded cheese of your choice in until it’s all melty and gooey and yummy.

My Mom and Dad have this when Mom doesn’t feel like making a great bit meal………………….ALSO, this is extremely yummy if you have it for breakfast and you dump some beaten eggs into the whole mess while it’s cooking and let the egg cook in with the burger, etc…………then it’s what Mom and Dad call “Breakfast Hash” !!!!!

HAPPY SHOPPING!

Hugs, Sammy the Shopper

  If you look on my blog I have a photo of the type we use – it’s usually just a bag of “already shredded up” potatoes – they still need to be cooked…….BUT there ARE “frozen” hash browns too which are cooked and just need to be heated up……we just like the “bag” version!!!!!

    Not sure we can find those in France but I’m sure grated potatoes would do?

      YES! It’s the same thing…….just this company did all the work for us so we just dump the shredded/grated potatoes in the frying pan and fry them up!

Wow, that sounds yummy! We pay a lot more for ground beef here in Canada and also cheese too, you practically have to win the lottery to afford both ground beef and cheese in the same trip to the grocery store or save up your pennies and check the couch cushions for spare change. We’re adding this to the list of things that mom must try!

  Well it sure is EASY and my parents like it – also ground beef isn’t ALWAYS on sale here – we were just lucky this week and Mom bought a bunch and stuck it in the freezer!!!!!
  
  Hmm….check cushions for spare change has gone on my own personal “TO DO” list!

Now you did it – we are all drooling for yummy food, but we can’t have onions:( Mom LOVES onions in everything and vidalia are her favorite too – so sweet and tasty.

We will see if Mom will cook us a bit of the burger on the side:)

  Both Mom and I should be watching our cholesterol – Mom takes meds for hers and I’m pretty good about NOT asking for a little bit of butter once in a while!!!
