Servings: 6
Ingredients
-
1 pound lean ground beef
-
1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1½ cups)
-
2 cups long-grain white rice, uncooked and rinsed
-
2 cans (10.5 ounces each) condensed tomato soup
-
2½ cups water
-
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
-
½ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
1. Brown the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Continue cooking until the meat is fully browned and no pink remains. If there is excess grease, drain most of it, leaving a small amount for flavor.
2. Cook the Onion
Add the diced onion to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes soft and translucent. Remove the skillet from the heat.
3. Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly grease the inside of a 4–6 quart slow cooker. Add the uncooked, rinsed long-grain white rice to the bottom of the slow cooker and spread it evenly.
4. Make the Tomato Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed tomato soup, water, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth.
5. Combine the Ingredients
Pour the tomato soup mixture over the rice in the slow cooker. Use a spoon to gently move the rice around so it becomes fully coated and submerged in the liquid.
6. Add the Beef and Onion
Spoon the cooked beef and onion mixture over the rice and sauce. Stir gently to distribute the meat and onions without packing down the rice.
7. Cook the Texas Hash
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on:
-
LOW: 3½ – 4½ hours
Avoid opening the lid during the first 3 hours so the rice can steam properly.
8. Stir and Serve
Once the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, gently stir the mixture from bottom to top. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if desired.
Serve the Texas Hash hot directly from the slow cooker.
Conclusion
Slow Cooker Texas Hash is a simple, comforting meal that turns everyday ingredients into a delicious family dinner. The slow cooking process allows the rice to absorb the savory tomato and beef flavors, creating a warm and satisfying dish. Perfect for busy evenings or when you want an easy one-pot meal, this classic Texas Hash recipe is sure to become a household favorite.
