Chopped smoked beef brisket
Bell Pepper: green, orange or red bell pepper (sub with jalapeno)

Olive oil
BBQ Rub or your favorite bottled rub (sub with a combination of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder)

Barbecue sauce (optional)
12 inch cast iron skillet

How to make brisket hash

Preheat your grill for medium-high heat, or 375 degrees F.
Dice the potatoes, onion, and bell pepper.
Add olive oil to the skillet and place it onto the grill to heat up.
Add diced vegetables to skillet, season with BBQ rub. Stir, and allow the vegetables to cook for 10-12 minutes.
Chop brisket into bite-sized pieces. Reduce heat to medium and place brisket on top of vegetables. Rewarm the meat for 5-7 minutes
Crack a couple of eggs directly over hash. Do not get them too close to the edge of the pan, as they will burn.
Cook eggs for 3-6 minutes, depending on the desired doneness.
Remove skillet from heat, drizzle hash with warmed barbecue sauce (optional), and serve. Add shredded cheese to this dish if desired.
Pair this breakfast brisket hash and eggs with toast or tortillas.

Storing Leftover Brisket Hash

Store your Brisket Hash and Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Do not freeze this dish.

Tips

Cook your eggs separately for easy assembling. This way, you can add either poached, scrambled, soft-boiled, or well-done eggs to this dish. It’s a great way to customize this brisket hash to suit your tastes.
Make a creamy barbecue sauce by adding 1/4 cup of real mayonnaise to the barbecue sauce. Drizzle over the brisket hash and eggs as you would an aioli. Creamy and delicious!
Don’t have leftover smoked brisket on hand? No problem! Use pulled pork or another smoked meat.
