🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 6 slices bacon
• 8 ounces breakfast sausage
• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 medium green bell pepper

• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small cubes. Dice the green bell pepper and yellow onion. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.

2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

3. In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4. Drain excess grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the diced potatoes and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp (about 8-10 minutes). If needed, add olive oil to prevent sticking.

5. Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the diced green bell pepper, yellow onion, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook until softened, 3-4 minutes, then mix everything together in the skillet.

6. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and black pepper until well blended. Pour the mixture into the skillet over the vegetables and potatoes.

7. Gently scramble the eggs, folding them into the potato and vegetable mixture as they cook. Cook until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes.

8. Stir in the cooked sausage and crumbled bacon. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and allow it to melt.

9. Garnish with the chopped green parts of the green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty country breakfast!
