A self-concocted recipe born from long nights and late mornings. A truly hearty, robust stand-alone meal. Known coast to coast thanks to wonderful friends. Likely one of my most memorable dishes according to said friends. Serve with a side of salsa, a tortilla, and your favorite glass of juice.

I found this recipe in a box of Velveeta cheese. I am sure you could substitute another type of cheese and still have a great breakfast. Feel free to add mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc. to suit your personal preferences. It is a quick and easy one pan breakfast. Enjoy!

Time 22m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb pork sausage
2 cups frozen hash brown potatoes
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, drained
1/2 lb Velveeta cheese, product cut up
6 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons milk or 2 tablespoons water
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Brown sausage in large nonstick skillet on medium heat.
  • Drain.
  • Add potatoes and tomatoes, cook 5 minutes or until the potatoes are browned.
  • Top with Velveeta.
  • Mix eggs and milk; pour evenly over ingredients in skillet; cover.
  • Reduce heat to Low.
  • Cook 10 to 12 minutes or until eggs are set and cheese is melted.
  • Let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes before cutting into wedges to serve.
  • Serve with salsa if desired.

Tips:

  • Prep ahead: Chop your veggies, cook your bacon, and grate your cheese the night before. This will make assembling your skillet in the morning a breeze.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet: Cast-iron skillets retain heat well, making them ideal for cooking a hearty breakfast skillet. If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When adding your ingredients to the skillet, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
  • Cook in batches: If you're making a large skillet, you may need to cook the ingredients in batches. This will ensure that everything is cooked through.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season your skillet with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve immediately: A hearty breakfast skillet is best served hot out of the skillet. Top with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, avocado, or sour cream.

A hearty breakfast skillet is a delicious and easy way to start your day. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
