- Fresh spinach

Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook frozen shredded hash browns according to package directions for 12-18 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- In a large skillet, brown 1/2 to 3/4 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- In the same skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté 1/2 cup of diced onion and 1/2 cup of diced bell peppers until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. If using spinach, add it for the last minute until wilted.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2-3 large eggs per serving with a splash of milk or water and a pinch of salt and pepper. Melt butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, pour in the egg mixture, and scramble until fluffy and slightly moist.
- Assemble the bowls by spooning crispy hash browns into the bottom, layering with seasoned ground beef, then adding scrambled eggs on top. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot eggs and beef.
- Top with salsa, hot sauce, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and chopped green onions. Add sliced avocado if desired, and serve immediately.
