Texas Steak Hash

Watching Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives always makes me so hungry. It makes me sad when the food I see is a top secret recipe that I'll probably never taste unless I go on a food road trip. I saw a recipe for Texas Chicken Hash and was so stoked.

Then I realized the recipe on the site could feed a small army and that was a "Woah! I'm probably not going to make this!" reaction out of me. Then I decided to try and modify as much as possible and I had steak instead of chicken. It ended up being one of the very best meals I've ever had.

There was a lot going on and it did dirty a ton of dishes, but it was definitely worth it.

Also worth a mention - I feel like this would be perfect hangover food...just for reference!
