I originally published this Texas Hash recipe in 2011. Back in February when we took a trip back up to our old stomping grounds; Illinois. While we were there, I gathered up some of the recipes my mom had handwritten in one of her cookbooks. I came across one called “Texas Hash” with my grandma’s name next to it. So I thought, sure, I’ll give that a try. So I wrote it down and brought it back home with me to South Carolina. I gave the recipe a try tonight and it was a huge hit!

My grandma was a huge fan of casseroles. While I never really had them (we didn’t live close enough), my mom and dad always talk about how she was the queen of casseroles – and would whip one up with ingredients she had around her kitchen.

In an effort to honor my grandma with her recipe, I will call this recipe, Texas Hash Casserole, because it’s totally a casserole! You begin by cooking some of the ingredients in a skillet and then transferring them to a casserole dish where you bake it for one hour – totally casserole-ish!

Update: Since I’ve made this recipe now several times, I have added in shredded cheddar cheese. I just feel like it adds more flavor (plus, I now live in the cheese capital of Wisconsin, so everything must include cheese!) I’ve also changed the recipe to include more rice…something my kids love!

  • ground beef
  • onion

This recipe is truly packed with so much flavor, even though only a little chili powder and salt are added for seasonings. It’s such a warm and comfort food type dish…that it goes great on a cold night for dinner!

Interestingly enough, I really found that this recipe tastes very similar to my most favorite food in the entire world, {besides Gino’s East Chicago Pizza, lol} STUFFED PEPPERS!! I would almost say that this Texas Hash Casserole could be called Stuffed Pepper Casserole…because literally, the ingredients are the same 🙂

Personal note: Back in 2001, my grandma gifted me a recipe book that she had handwritten many family recipes in. This Texas Hash recipe was actually in there 🤠 I share this because I want to save this for forever.

Update: When I began this blog back in 2011, I never intended for it to become what it is today…nor did I understand how to take photos of food 🥴 – so when I go back and edit the old recipe, I like to keep some of my photos. Enjoy 😊

I have no idea what Texas Hash is supposed to go with so I quickly made up some mini cornbread muffins and then topped them with the hash. I also added a dollop of sour cream because I thought it was a little salty. However, when we make this again I will more than likely serve it with some polenta and cheese. *Enjoy!
