Equipment

  • 12-inch skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 8-10 slices bacon chopped
  • 8 links breakfast sausage
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 medium 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 to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or favorite cheese
  • 2 green onions chopped, for garnish
  • salsa for serving
  • Hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

  • Add sausage links to a 12’’ 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 in to. 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

You could also use 3 cups frozen diced hash browns (thawed) in place of fresh potatoes. Leftovers reheat well in a hot greased skillet, and can be repurposed as breakfast burritos in a warm tortilla.
