This is one of our FAVORITE dutch oven recipes EVER!!! We got it from the dutch oven master...our brother in law Doug! We can't go camping without having this for breakfast one of the mornings now and we like it so much that we make it once or twice a year at home in our oven. I hope you all try it, if you haven't already and that you like it as much as we do!
MOUNTAIN MAN BREAKFAST
1 lb. of ground pork sausage8 eggsa bag of frozen hash browns2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
TO MAKE IT WHILE CAMPING:
First you cook your sausage in the dutch oven then remove it from the pan. Remove most of the grease from the pan as well. Cook your hash browns in the same pan and season with salt and pepper. Then flatten the hash browns into the bottom of the pan to form kind of a crust. Sprinkle cooked sausage over the hash browns. Break your eggs into a bowl and add some salt and pepper and whisk them and pour eggs over the sausage and hash browns. Place the lid on the dutch oven and place in coals placing some coals on the lid as well and cook until the egg is set up. Check in the middle of the pan for doneness. Once eggs have set up add cheese and cook until melted. If you add cheese on top of raw eggs it will take a really long time for the eggs to set up for some reason so after some trial and error we think it works best to just cook the eggs first and then add the cheese.
TO MAKE IT AT HOME:
We will often use tator tots at home. Just cook your sausage in the pan, remove the sausage from the pan and take most of the grease out as well. Then place the tator tots in the pan to thaw them and kind of break them up into pieces with your spoon and kind of brown them a little. They are already mostly cooked just need to be browned up so it just seems to go faster. Then either place the potatoes you choose to use in the bottom of a large pan or the square pan works great for this. Flatten potatoes to form a kind of bottom crust. Then sprinkle sausage over. Mix up your eggs with a little salt and pepper and pour them over sausage. Bake at 350 degrees until egg mixture is set up. Check in the middle of the pan to check for doneness. Then sprinkle cheese on top and cook until cheese has melted. If you add cheese on top of raw eggs it will take a really long time for the eggs to set up for some reason so after some trial and error we think it works best to just cook the eggs first and then add the cheese. It is so yummy! Matthew ate it right up the last time we made it and he HATES eggs! We've decided we'll just hide the fact that there are eggs in it from him until he's an adult if we can!
