A Charlie Brown Christmas, Frosty The Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer ... One very funny, Christmas parody song refers to these annual shows as "stale TV specials."

What a Grinchy thing to say!

Go ahead and roll your eyes, but we all have our favorite holiday specials, and favorite lines from those shows and movies, too! ("Nobody likes a Charlie-in-the-box!")

My friend and I decided to recreate some foods featured in our favorite holiday shows. He created a homemade cheese pizza just like Kevin's in Home Alone!

And I made this Who Hash—like the last can of Who Hash that the Grinch stole in the classic, How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Speaking of holiday classics, have you tried Elf Spaghetti?

Why you'll love this dish

No offense to the Grinch, but I prefer a hash that's a cut above the canned variety. Perhaps The Grinch does, too, but we understand that he was pressed for time that evening, and really he was just trying to make a point: for the Whos to quiet the heck down so he could relax on Mt. Crumpit!

Anyway, this recipe for Who Hash is much tastier than any canned hash. It has diced potatoes, onions, and chopped roast beast—whoops, I mean beef!

This beef hash recipe is a great way to use up a holiday or Sunday evening roast, and it comes together fast for a savory breakfast, brunch, or casual dinner.

🔪 How to make this Who Hash recipe

Ingredients:

• Diced potatoes: choose a waxy type like Yukon gold or white
• Roast beef: this is a great use for leftover pot roast
• Onion: dice up a yellow onion
• Milk: any percentage will do
• Salt and pepper: to make it taste good
• Hot sauce: just a little tastes really good in this hash
• Oil: for the pan to help prevent sticking

Step 1: Combine the meat, potatoes, and seasonings

In a large bowl mix together diced roast beef, diced cooked potato, and diced onion. Mix these together with milk and seasonings.

Step 2: Fry it up in a pan

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and when it's hot add the hash mixture. Spread it in an even layer and let it cook for 10 minutes. Once a crust has formed on the bottom, stir the hash around and cook it for another 5-10 minutes until it's hot and browned throughout.

Step 3: Invite your Grinches to join you!

Serve plates of Who Hash while it's hot, with fried or scrambled eggs and buttered toast or hot biscuits on the side.

Tips:

• Use cooked roast beef leftover from a dinner roast, or chuck roast.
• Need to prepare some roast beef for this recipe but a little faster than in an oven or slow cooker? Here's what I do: buy about 2 pounds of stew beef, which is chuck roast cut into cubes. Place the beef in an Instant Pot cooker with ¾ cup of water and some seasonings. Cook the beef for about 45-60 minutes in the Instant Pot until it's tender.

What a tasty, savory dinner of Who Hash—and it makes a hearty breakfast, too! It'll be easy to soften the heart of even the Grinchiest Grinches with this dish!
