- 1 pound mild pork sausage (such as Jimmy Dean®)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 (2 pound) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
- 12 eggs, beaten
- 1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
*I would recommend adding fresh bacon bits to the mixture before you cook it
Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals.
Cook and stir the sausage, onion, and garlic in a 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven with lid, raised over the coals to medium-high heat, until the sausage is no longer pink and the onion is tender. Stir in the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and hash brown potatoes until evenly mixed. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the hash browns are hot and the peppers are tender, about 15 minutes.
Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the top of the potatoes, allowing them to sink into the potatoes. Cover the Dutch oven, and place 6 to 9 coals underneath, and 12 to 18 on top. Allow to bake until the eggs are firm, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, cover, and continue cooking until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
* I used Ore-Ida Potatoes O'Brien With Onions and Peppers instead of using fresh peppers and it turned out really well.
* I also would recommend mixing some of the cheese with the eggs before you pour them in the dutch oven and then sprinkle the rest on top
I tried this recipe and loved it! It was easy to do in the dutch oven, and the instructions were super clear. I also used a hash brown mix with bell peppers and onions already in it which was helpful. We found it to be especially yummy as breakfast burritos!
ReplyDeleteI tried this recipe and really enjoyed it. I used a hot Italian sausage which brought a little extra flavor that we enjoyed. We made the extra into burritos and froze them. They make a great quick and easy breakfast in the morning, especially in an airfryer.
