How To Make breakfast mess
-
Step 1Melt Olive Oil And Butter In large skillet and pan fry potatoes, stirring often to crisp on each side. Sprinkle a little salt & pepper on potatoes while cooking. When done remove from heat and transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
-
Step 2In a same skillet, on medium heat, cook sausage until brown. Remove sausage to paper towel lined bowl to drain. Pour off the grease from the skillet.
-
Step 3In same skillet melt the bacon grease, butter or margarine over medium heat and add the diced onions & peppers. Stir to coat and saute for about 5 minutes.
-
Step 4Add the sausage and potatoes to the onion and pepper mixture and stir well.
-
Step 5Add the beaten eggs and green onions then stir well. Continue to stir occasionally until the eggs are nearly cooked. Don't over stir or you'll break up the potatoes.
-
Step 6Add salt & pepper to taste and sprinkle cheese over the top. Turn heat off and cover skillet until cheese melts.
-
Step 7Give it one more quick stir and serve. Enjoy!
-
Step 8Options: If you prefer not to scramble the eggs into the casserole, then once everything is cooked, crack the eggs, one at a time on top of the casserole. Cover and cook over low until whites are cooked and yellow is still runny. Instead of bulk breakfast sausage, use 1 pound of bacon cooked crisp and coarsely chopped, use fried ham steak cut into chunks, or use all three! The more cheese, the better - I like sharp cheddar and colby jack mixed together.
