Easy Ham Hash


Kathy and I chose to start our adventure in food and fun and food this week.

And yes, I said food twice.  Why?  Because we like it!

We chose out of a recipe book that we had purchased on a night out together a week or two ago when we thought of doing this food blog fun connection thing.  The recipe book is called "Taste of Home."  It's seems to be full of casserole type dishes.  Who doesn't like casserole?  Well, I guess some don't and some kind of casseroles we don't.

So here goes our adventure!  The only thing to lose is time in front of the TV!  That's a winner already!  It's time together doing something we both enjoy: Cooking and Eating!  We will try all kinds of recipes; classic, ethnic, comfort foods, exotic, wild game, you name it! 

The first recipe we tried was Easy Ham Hash.  Huh?!  Not the most savory name, I know.

Preparation took a half hour but for me it was time spent learning some basics.  Kathy taught me how to peel and shred potatoes, peel and dice onions.  She wanted a little more horseradish cream than was called for.  Why?  Because we like it!  The casserole took 35 to 40 minutes to cook.  It smelled pretty good.

We paired all of this "country sounding" hash casserole with peas, applesauce (a special concoction that we'll disclose later) and Lela's pickled beets.  Thanks Lela!

Mom Wolfe was our guinea pig tonight.  She liked it!

The scale we'll use will be 0 to 5, with 0 being horrible, like, "I want to find the person who came up with this recipe and......." And 5 meaning it will be on Heaven's Menu.  I'm almost sure of it.

So tonight's recipe......rap quickly on a nearby table for a drum roll effect.....is a 2.5!  Easy Ham Hash.  The name fits the dish.  Anything smothered in cheese can't be lower than a 2.5!

By the way, Kathy and I had a blast!

See you next week!
