Ingredients
This recipe serves 6-8 hungry campers. Here's what you'll need:
- 1 lb of bacon
- 1 lb of sausage links
- 32 oz bag of hash browns (frozen or fresh)
- 12 large eggs
- Cheese mix (cheddar, monterey jack, or your favorite blend)
Optional toppings: ketchup, hot sauce, or maple syrup for a sweet-and-savory twist.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Cooking the Meat
- Cut bacon and sausage into 1-inch pieces for even cooking and easy eating.
- Cook the meat: Stir and cook bacon and sausage in the hot skillet until thoroughly cooked, for at least 5 minutes. The bacon should be crispy and sausage browned on all sides.
- Transfer to pot: Put bacon and sausage in the pot and cover with lid to keep warm on the second burner.
Building the Train Wreck
- Cook hash browns: In the skillet, cook hash browns until they are crisp and golden on the outside. This usually takes 8-10 minutes.
- Combine ingredients: Add bacon and sausage back to the skillet and stir everything together.
- Add eggs: Mix eggs into the hash brown and meat mixture, stirring constantly.
- Scramble thoroughly: Stir until eggs scramble in with hash browns and are cooked firm throughout, about 3-4 minutes.
- Finish with cheese: Add cheese until melted and gooey, creating that perfect breakfast blend.
Serving suggestion: Serve with ketchup or syrup, or try it with salsa and sour cream for a southwestern twist.
