Last weekend I pulled out my chef’s knife and big cutting board then went to town chopping fresh vegetables and smoked sausage before sauteing them until crisp and sizzling. Sausage, Pepper and Mushroom Hash was supposed to be an impromptu brunch but it turned out so well I had to recreate it for you!
What’s Inside
Creamy Yukon gold potatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, sliced mushrooms, and kielbasa sausage are sauteed until the potatoes and sausage develop a crispy golden crust, and the pepper and unions are tender and caramelized, then the whole dish gets smothered in drippy egg yolk.
This recipe is for my fellow foodies with an APPETITE! Meat and potatoes at its finest.
Meals like this are not only fun to create – from methodically chopping the vegetables, to watching them turn golden brown and crisp – but they’ve got a way of making me feel instantly better about anything I’m stressing out about. Comfort food’s got a way of doing that. So does not having to do a truck load of dishes.
Did I mention this is a one-skillet dish?!
How to Make this Recipe
Start by preheating a large (I mean huge!) cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium/medium-high heat (we’re looking for a 6/10 on the heat scale,) then add extra virgin olive oil and Yukon gold potatoes that have been chopped into 1/2″ cubes. Preheating the skillet will give the potatoes a nearly-instant crust as soon as they settle in.
Shake the skillet to get the potatoes into an even layer then season with salt and pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, until crisp and tender, 10-12 minutes.
Scoop the potatoes onto a plate then turn the heat up to high and add a bit more oil to the skillet. Add chopped bell pepper and red onion, plus sliced mushrooms and Kielbasa sausage then saute until the vegetables are caramelized and tender, another 10-12 minutes.
Don’t be scared if your skillet is overflowing at this point – it will get easier to stir as the vegetables soften and shrink down! Finally add minced garlic cloves and chopped basil leaves then saute for 1 more minute.
Add the potatoes back into the skillet then stir everything to combine. Plate the hash then top with eggs cooked your way and dig in! Ferociously filling, savory, and hearty, there is no way you’re going to leave the table feeling unsatisfied after this meal. Enjoy!

Made this tonight and totally loved it! So full of flavor and I even did some sweet potatoes too for the extra vitamins. :) I want to try chopping the onion and mushroom slices thicker next time so they hold up through the heat. Delicious with over easy egg on top! Thanks for this recipe!

[…] Sausage, Pepper, and Mushroom Hash – My husband made this meal last week and it was absolutely delicious – the only part we skipped was the egg at the end. I was so glad to finally have a wonderfully filling meal. We tried one of those home meal delivery services and disliked 2 out of 3 of the meals they sent. I signed us up for the vegetarian meal option (mistake with a capital M) and it was quite awful. The one meal we both enjoyed had orzo pasta, tomatoes, avocado, and chickpeas in it. Next time I would make it without the chickpeas because I really dislike anything made with chickpeas – do not offer me your special hummus recipe, it is like all the others out there – tasteless and gross. So I’ve gotten slightly off topic, sorry chickpeas will do that to you. Anyway, the sausage & pepper hash was wonderful. Actually every recipe we’ve tried from Iowa Girl Eats is great. […]

Made this last night. I told my husband that I only made one tweak (for me that is amazing). He braced himself. I used some leftover bacon grease instead of olive oil because everything is better with bacon(grease).
So tasty that he said this is the go to hash recipe from now on.
Kristin 08.06.2015
Ooo, yes, I agree – great swap and so glad to hear you both enjoyed!

Hope your days slow down a bit and you can enjoy these last weeks of summer! Iowa winters are too cold not to appreciate these warm days. Good luck with the water in your basement! Eek! In your new house!

i love hashes! they’re so easy to make, but they somehow make me feel like i’m out brunching (this might just be a result of the fact that i tend to order them a lot when i eat out because they sound so good).

My husband would love this! Pinned! I cope with stress with either wine and Netflix or wine and a good book (see a theme here?) ;)
