More of the birthday festivities! I am the best wife ever (self-proclaimed) and got up this morning to make Scott breakfast to take to work. The Cowboy Skillet is a dish from Eggingtons, which is an awesome little local breakfast, brunch and lunch joint here in town. Scott almost always orders the cowboy skillet when we eat there, and I figured I could pretty easily recreate it at home! The best part about this recipe is that it can be made so many different ways! I made it into a casserole this morning because it's way easier to transport that way; but on normal mornings I keep it in skillet form and serve it on top of hash browns or breakfast potatoes or sometimes even biscuits and serve it with sunny side up eggs on top instead. Either way, its good. You just have to decide which way you want it :-)
Serves: a lot hahah I assume this got it's name because it can serve a bunch of cowboys? I don't know but it makes a very full 9x13" pan.
1 lb of your favorite breakfast sausage
1 lb bacon (chopped into 1" pieces)
1 green pepper, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup diced ham
1 package hash brown potatoes (not the frozen kind)
one dozen eggs
1/2 cup milk
shredded cheese
breakfast gravy for topping (optional)
1. Begin by browning sausage in a large skillet *I use a large electric skillet for this as it all goes into one pan*
2. Add onion and pepper, they will cook off in the grease from the sausage.
3. Add bacon and cook until bacon is crispy.
4. Add mushrooms, hash brown potatoes, and ham.Cook until heated through.
5. Pour into a prepared 9x13" baking dish.
6. Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Pour into pan over meat mixture.
7. Cover tightly with foil and cook at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
8. Remove foil, sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake for another 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve with gravy and enjoy!
I wanted to get a picture of a spoonful piled on a plate but this went to work with Scott..maybe next time!
