I think this Country Breakfast Skillet gets its name because it is filling and wholesome enough to feed country folk who go out to work on the farms all day! Just kidding, I don’t really know how it got its name, but I do know that it will fill you up on a Saturday or Sunday morning when you have a busy day ahead!

This recipe doesn’t pull any punches. It has bacon, green pepper, lots of cubed potatoes, cheese and it all comes together with lightly beaten eggs. It really is a special treat that is a great crowdpleaser.
