Hearty Bacon and Egg Breakfast Skillet

Ingredients

• Bacon (6 slices, chopped)
• Potatoes (2 medium, diced)
• Onion (1 small, diced)
• Bell pepper (1 medium, diced (any color))
• Eggs (4 large)
• Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
• Green onions (2, sliced)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
• Hot sauce (for serving (optional))

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
2. If the bacon fat is insufficient, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Then, add the diced potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.
3. Stir in the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Push the potato mixture to one side of the skillet, creating space for the eggs. Crack the eggs into the empty side of the skillet. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
5. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, either sunny-side up or scrambled, for about 3-5 minutes.
6. Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions over the entire skillet.
7. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve the hearty bacon and egg breakfast skillet hot, and enjoy with your favorite hot sauce or ketchup on the side!
