Equipment

  • 12-inch skillet

Ingredients
  

Meats

  • 8-10 slices bacon chopped
  • 8 links breakfast sausage

Vegetables

  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 each red bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 lbs Russet potatoes (about 2 large), peeled and diced into ½” cubes, about 3 cups
  • salt and pepper to taste

  • Hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Add sausage links to a 12-inch skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Add bacon to the pan and cook until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon to the plate, leaving 3-4 Tablespoons grease in the pan (add a little oil or butter if there's not enough grease).
  • Add potatoes to the pan in a single layer and season well with salt and pepper. Cook, flipping only occasionally, until crisp on all sides, and fork tender (around 8-10 minutes, or less if using frozen diced hash browns). Push potatoes off to the side of the pan and add onion, bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for about 3 more minutes.
  • Chop the sausage into bite sized pieces and add both sausage and bacon back to the pan. Sprinkle with smoked paprika.
  • Use a wooden spoon to make 6 wells in the pan to crack eggs into. Crack the eggs into each well and sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over everything.
  • Cover pan with a lid and cook over low heat for a few minutes until egg whites are set and cheese is melted. Garnish with green onion and serve with red or green salsa and hot sauce.

Notes

Potatoes can be substituted with frozen diced hash browns for quicker cooking. Leftovers can be reheated. Ideal for breakfast burritos.
