We’re moving on now to the 2nd recipe in our Cook Once, Eat All Week series! Again, if you’re brand new here and have no idea what I’m talking about THIS POST explains it all in detail.

This week’s base recipes (which you can snag HERE) included ground beef, baked potatoes, and some sautéed kale. We’re making use of those components now in today’s recipe, in addition to a few strategic add-ins: blessed chorizo and some peppers.

We’re making breakfast today! Of course, this dish can EASILY be dinner (or lunch). In addition to the ground beef that you’ve already prepped this week, we’re going to crisp up some chorizo in this breakfast hash, too. You could also up the breakfast/protein power further by cracking an egg on top or simply serving it with a fried or poached egg. I also think it’d be delicious with a spoonful of this cilantro hollandaise. Make it your own and enjoy!

Note that this meal prep-friendly dish also freezes really well. I have several of these portioned-out and stashed away in the deep freeze waiting for our baby’s arrival. For my freezer/defrost tips, check out the Cook Once, Eat All Week introductory post!

    Good, but a LOT of meat. I think it easily could have used half as much. Also, a bit acidic and somewhat spicy. Strongly recommend sour cream (or greek yogurt) and or a bit of cheese if you can tolerate it.

    Also, as it relates to the Meal Prep plan, I was a bit disappointed that the prep-day didn’t indicate to chop up the bell peppers and onions and garlic and whatnot for this meal ahead of time; the point is to have everything ready ahead of time so you’re just assembling I thought. I feel like I could have just as easily cooked everything from scratch with the same amount of pans and bowls and cutting board cleanup, without having to store huge quantities of a few cooked items in my fridge all week.

    1. Yes, it freezes great – I like to freeze it in individually portioned containers!

  2. Do you count calories? I just started thinking about Whole 30 from the advice of my Doctor. I am diabetic and just found out that I have a lot of allergies. (Gluten, eggs, rice, and diary ) Have always done Keto but there is a lot of dairy in that diet. So I think I still need to count my calories because I do have weight to lose. I just bought your book :Eat Once and Cook All Week. So just was wonder if you put the calorie count for your recipes.
