1 bag frozen shredded hash browns They create the perfect crispy base for your breakfast bowls.

2-3 large eggs Essential for that fluffy texture; feel free to substitute with egg whites for a lighter option.
0.5-0.75 pound ground beef Provides a savory punch; turkey or plant-based meat works well too!

1 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors beautifully.
1 teaspoon black pepper Adds a bit of heat; adjust according to your taste.
1 teaspoon garlic powder Brings an aromatic essence to the mix.
1 teaspoon smoked paprika Introduces a warm, smoky flavor that's simply delightful.

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese Melts beautifully over the hot ingredients for extra richness.
0.5 cup diced onion Provides a sweet crunch when sautéed.
0.5 cup diced bell peppers Add a pop of color and flavor to your bowls.
1 tablespoon olive oil Essential for sautéing the veggies to tender perfection.
1 cup fresh spinach A great way to sneak in some greens; add it at the end to keep it vibrant.

salsa to taste; an excellent way to introduce freshness and spice.
hot sauce to taste; perfect for those who love a kick!
sour cream or Greek yogurt to taste; adds a creamy element that contrasts nicely with the warm toppings.
chopped green onions to taste; provides a fresh finish and a bit of crunch.
sliced avocado to taste; optional, but oh so creamy and delicious!
fresh cilantro to taste; brightens up the dish with its herbaceous notes.
pickled jalapeños to taste; for those who like an extra spicy element.
Sriracha mayo to taste; a modern twist for a zesty kick.

Preheat the air fryer: Begin by setting your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the frozen shredded hash browns according to the package directions for 12-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef (½ to ¾ pound) and break it into crumbles. Brown it well, then drain excess fat and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil and add the diced onion (½ cup) and diced bell peppers (½ cup). Sauté until they’re tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. If using spinach, toss it in for the final minute until wilted.
Scramble the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2-3 large eggs per serving with a splash of milk or water, plus a pinch of salt and pepper. Melt butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Scramble until fluffy and slightly moist.
Assemble the bowls: Start by spooning the crispy hash browns into the bottom of your bowls. Layer the seasoned ground beef on top, followed by the fluffy scrambled eggs. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot ingredients to melt deliciously.
Add the toppings: Top your bowls with salsa, hot sauce, and either sour cream or Greek yogurt. Finish with chopped green onions, sliced avocado, and any other desired garnishes. Serve immediately for a delicious breakfast experience!
