Equipment

  • 1 large skillet with a lid

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces ground breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 3 cups diced sweet potatoes (about 1/2-inch x 1/2-inch)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion
  • Additional pepper, sliced green onions, diced avocado, salsa, etc. for topping, optional

Instructions

  • Brown the sausage in a large skillet.
    12 ounces ground breakfast sausage
  • Add the diced red pepper, sweet potatoes, salt, pepper and water.
    1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 3 cups diced sweet potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 cup water
  • Cover the skillet and cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • While you wait for the sweet potatoes to soften, cook the eggs in a separate pan to your liking (scrambled, over-easy or over-hard).
    4 eggs
  • Remove the lid and stir in the sliced green onion.
    1/4 cup sliced green onion
  • Place the cooked eggs over the hash.
  • Top as desired and serve warm.
    Additional pepper, sliced green onions, diced avocado, salsa, etc.

Notes

  • No sweet potatoes? Use regular!
  • Try mixing up the vegetables - add mushrooms, onions, green peppers, or jalapeños to turn up the heat!
  • Add ham and/or bacon instead of sausage…..or get crazy and add all three!
  • Top with cheese, sour cream, avocado, and salsa for a Tex-Mex flair!
  • Serve the leftovers (if you're lucky enough to have any!) in a tortilla with cheese for quick and easy breakfast burritos
  • Save a pan!  Like sunny-side up eggs?  Create little nests in the hash and cook the eggs right in the same pan!  Add the eggs, cover with the lid and cook until the eggs are done to your liking.
