Recipe type: breakfast (adapted from Sally's Baking Addiction)
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 3 strips of bacon or sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 12 oz frozen hash browns
  • one half of a bell pepper, chopped
  • ¼ t. salt
  • ¼ t. pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • ⅓ c. shredded cheese
Instructions
  1. Place a 10-12 inch skillet on the stove. Cook bacon (or sausage) on both sides until fully cooked. Remove from heat, reserve grease, and set bacon on a lined plate with paper towels to absorb some grease. Once the bacon is cool, you can begin to chop it up.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  3. Turn the stove heat to medium. When bacon grease begins to simmer, add the hash browns. Give them a quick mix with a wooden spoon. Allow to cook for about 2 minutes, untouched. Add the chopped pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir things around once or twice, then flatten everything out using the back of a wooden spoon. Allow to cook, untouched for 3 minutes. Stir, then allow to cook for 2 more minutes. The hash browns should be getting brown at this point. If not, continue to cook and stir until they are.
  4. Then, using the back of the wooden spoon, make 4 shallow indentations into the hash. Crack an egg into each indentation. Top with shredded cheese. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites set, about 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately
