breakfast brunch essentials: easy brisket hash

Recipe by

Got some leftover brisket… Well, here you go. What I love about this hash recipe is that it can be made with whatever you have on hand. I happened to have some leftover brisket, but it will work with ham, chicken, or use more veggies and make it vegetarian. In addition, I wanted something that was easy to put together, and didn’t require a lot of time tossing and sautéing. I’m making this in a small cast-iron skillet and it will feed two “normal” people, or one hungry person. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
