Cajun Beef Sausage Hash With Eggs (Printable)

Hearty southern skillet with spicy Cajun beef sausage, golden potatoes, vegetables, and perfectly cooked eggs.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 12 oz Cajun beef sausage, sliced into rounds

→ Vegetables

02 - 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
03 - 1 medium yellow onion, diced
04 - 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
05 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced for garnish

→ Spices & Seasonings

06 - 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning blend
07 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
08 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Eggs

09 - 4 large eggs

→ Pantry Staples

10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and sauté for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and develop a golden crust.
02 - Add the remaining olive oil, diced onion, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Continue cooking for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
03 - Stir in the sliced Cajun beef sausage. Cook for 5–6 minutes, allowing the sausage to brown slightly and the flavors to meld together with the vegetables.
04 - Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the mixture. Toss well to combine and ensure all ingredients are coated with the spices.
05 - Create small wells in the hash for each egg. Crack the eggs into the wells, cover the skillet, and cook for 4–6 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny. Alternatively, push the hash to the sides, melt the butter in the center if using, and fry the eggs sunny-side up.
06 - Remove the skillet from heat immediately. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot while the eggs are at their desired doneness.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The Cajun seasoning creates this incredible crispy crust on the potatoes that youll want to recreate every weekend
  • Everything cooks in one pan so you spend less time washing dishes and more time eating
  • The runny yolks mix with the spices to create their own sauce
02 -
  • Dont rush the initial potato browning step that crispy exterior is what makes restaurant hash taste so good
  • If your skillet is crowded the potatoes will steam instead of fry so use your biggest pan or cook in batches
  • The eggs continue cooking after you remove the pan from heat so take them off slightly earlier than you think
03 -
  • Cut your potatoes into uniform cubes so they all cook at the same rate
  • Pre cook your potatoes in the microwave for 3 minutes if you want to shorten the skillet time
