Ingredients

  • 2 cups leftover brisket, cut into small pieces
  • 1.5 pounds baby gold potatoes, cut in half or quartered
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeds removed, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeds removed, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeds removed, diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • In a cast iron pan or skillet, heat oil and melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add diced potatoes, onions and peppers. Cook until the potatoes are tender.
  • Next, add leftover brisket and all the seasonings. Stir to combine and heat over low flame.
  • Pour barbecue sauce into the pan, stir and continue cooking until heated through.
  • Serve topped with shredded cheese and fried eggs.

Notes

Storage
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container. 
  • Remember that brisket lasts for up to 4 days, so adjust your storage time according to when you originally made the brisket. 
  • Freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container. 
  • Defrost overnight, then reheat in a saucepan over low heat or microwave individual portions at 1-minute intervals. 
Tips
  • Wash your hands thoroughly after handling hot peppers and never touch your face.
  • To avoid stinging eyes, refrigerate your onions for about 30 minutes before slicing them.
  • A cast-iron skillet works best. If you don't have one, a heavy-bottom pan is the next best thing. Both of these conduct heat well and give you more control as you cook.
  • Be sure to stir the hash frequently while cooking to prevent sticking.
