Welp unlike George and some of the others here, I know all about (and really appreciate) what the garbage plate is actually supposed to be. Traditionally with macaroni salad, potatos, and baked beans topped with hamburger meat, I would say a dish needs AT LEAST 2 bases to be considered even an off-brand garbage plate. This, my friends, is not a garbage plate. It’s just a chorizo hashbrown.
I thought it was good.
Wonderful dish! My freinds and scouts love it. You dont need a grill. Just use a 12 inch iron skillet. Browns those potatoes perfectly, although I would love to have a flattop.
This is a great recipe! I’m sure it would be even better if eaten at the restaurant…on their grill, but this is awesome made in your house also!
Wow George, why so bitter? Lighten up dude…take a chance, and YOU make the decision of what type of chorizo to use. I’m sure any type would be fab!
Sounds great missing one thing pace picante sauce and 14″ flour tortillas to make burittos
I had NO TROUBLE figuring out what “style” of chorizo to use thankfully! I actually made this on our family camping trip over a fire! I just omitted the oil and used some of the grease from frying the chorizo to cook the rest of the veggies and eggs (gave it a great color too!) I topped it with sour cream! It was the best campfire breakfast we ever had!!!
It may be tasty but please give your recipe the benefit of the doubt. The name of the dish would be enough for diners to even consider trying. And the recipe does not spoecify which type or style of chorizo is called for in the recipe. Not all chorizo is created equal. oh, i guess that’s where the garbage part comes in. My bad…
I use to live Kenosha,WI but I had the Ham Garbage plate and is was awsome.. Keep up the great job Franks!!!!
now this is more like it,, good food and a wholesome breakfast, couple extra jalapeno’s and great,,
We used our griddle to cook this awesome dish which I believe made a difference, because it cooked everything evenly. Garbage Plate is an awesome meal for breakfast or dinner.
