Tex-Mex Breakfast Haystacks image

I love haystacks and wanted to make a fun Tex-Mex version for my family. Adding panko crumbs and cheese to the hash browns before cooking gives them a wonderful golden brown color and crisp texture. -Donna-Marie Ryan, Topsfield, Massachusetts

These haystacks are a great way to use up leftover taco meat. I also like to add some chopped avocado and cilantro for a fresh flavor.

I love the idea of these breakfast haystacks, but I found the execution to be a bit lacking. The tater tots were soggy and the eggs were overcooked.

Meh. I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.
