As much as I enjoy cooking it doesn’t mean I want to spend all day and night in the kitchen. I like finding ways to create delicious recipes that only take a handful of ingredients. Of course, a bit of incentive always helps. Simply Potatoes and Food.com have teamed up to host a 5-ingredient recipe contest that has a grand prize of $3,000! Woo Hoo…that is enough to get me motivated to create a 5-ingredient recipe.
I decided to make a southwestern egg bake using 5 ingredients. It turned out way more tasty than even I expected. Easy to make and delicious! What more could I ask for?
Using Southwest Style Hash Brown made this recipe even easier. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of peeling and shredding potatoes. Simply Potatoes are fresh (never frozen or dehydrated) so I find it a very acceptable shortcut item.
