Ground Beef Breakfast Scramble

September 25, 2019 by Pilar Hernandez

Versión en españolGround Beef Breakfast Scramble

A convenient and straightforward recipe for breakfast or, in Chile, for what we call “once.” Ground beef breakfast scramble leaves everyone happy.
Once is a Chilean tradition that combines tea time with dinner. It usually happens between 7 and 9 pm, when families reunite after school and work. It always includes fresh bread, often bought on the way home and still warm.

Once is served with classic accompaniments for bread in Chile: butter, jams, deli meats, fresh cheese, avocado, etc. It frequently also includes lunch leftovers or a hot option like the recipe I’m sharing today.

The secret to a flavorful ground beef breakfast scramble is to allow the meat to brown without moving it at the beginning of cooking, and do not over-cook the eggs. So have everything ready before you start cooking. And enjoy it at breakfast or breakfast for dinner, the Chilean way.
