Ingredients
- 8-10 lices Bacon , chopped
- 8 breakfast sausage links*
- 1 small onion , diced
- 1 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
- 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
- Potatoes: You could also use 3 cups frozen diced hash browns (thawed)—they will cook more quickly since they’re already par boiled. Could also sub sweet potatoes.
- Sausage: You can substitute 1/2 pound of your favorite ground sausage.
- Leftovers: Leftovers reheat well in a hot greased skillet. We like to repurpose them as breakfast burritos (serve inside a warm tortilla).
