I recently accepted a new work schedule, which I just started this week: Sun->Wed, with Thurs optional depending on workload.

On typical workdays, my breakfast consisted of a (free) piece of fruit (thanks, Intel!) and coffee, which for a breakfast lover like myself, is pretty sad.

To me, breakfast is the ultimate playground for innovation. It’s that time in the morning when you’re peaking in your fridge and pantry, dreaming up an ultimate combo. With an extra day off, it gives me an extra opportunity to create said combo, and I definitely delivered today.

Inspired by a recent NYT article about turning dinner into hash, I decided that last nights shredded beef I made for tacos was definitely making it into some hash. In fact, I decided this as the beef was finishing up last night, which placed somewhat of a damper on my tacos, as dreams of beautiful hash danced through my head.

So, without further ado, I present spicy shredded beef hash.  I apologize if the pictures are a little blurry, but I was shaking with anticipation.  Let’s be honest here: you’re lucky I stopped to take any pictures at all.

Lord knows how many calories are in this, but I do know one thing: I don’t care.
