Hewes Family Fun

This is a great old Boy Scout/backpacking recipe. We eat it when we go camping, cooked in a dutch oven. You can cook it at home in a baking dish in the oven if you aren’t out cooking in a field.

Ingredients

• 1 bag O’Brien Potatoes, approx 28 ounces- defrosted
• 1 dozen eggs
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1 lb. bulk breakfast sausage (like Jimmy Dean) cooked, crumbled and patted to absorb the excess oil
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, divided
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Sour Cream and Salsa (for a topping)

Directions

1. Mix the sausage,  1 cup of  the cheese, and potatoes in a bowl
2. Pour sausage/egg/cheese mixture into a 9×11 baking dish
3. Scramble eggs and milk and pour over sausage/egg/cheese mixture
4. Top the dish with the remaining 1 c. cheese.
5. Bake at 350 for 20-35 minutes until the eggs have set and the dish is brown, bubbly and delicious.
6. Serve with Sour Cream and Salsa.
7. Serves 8-10 at home 4-6 when camping (fresh air makes you hungry).

If you have any leftovers, it’s great in a warmed tortilla the next morning as a burrito! I’ve also been informed that this is really good with avocado slices on top.
