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.
To make Country Breakfast Skillet, you will need the following ingredients:
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon in the skillet until it is crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and reserve three tablespoons of the cooking fat. Discard the rest.
Heat the bacon fat in the skillet until it is sizzling. Add the bell pepper, onion, and potatoes and cook while stirring gently until the potato cubes are evenly browned all over.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the veggies and stir until it melts.
Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they are just set. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately with the crispy bacon crumbled over the top.
This Country Breakfast Skillet makes a great hearty and wholesome breakfast. Try it out next weekend weekend and don’t forget to share photos on instagram using the #CookMeRecipes hanshtag!
