Norse - made it on Sat - it was great. Added Yellow onions and red & green peppers. Was great. The wife thinks it'd be an awesome breakfast w more potatoes and eggs.
It does. This is a staple at our house.
1.5-2lbs bacon
8-10 potatoes, diced
2-3 medium onions, chopped
2-3 bell peppers, chopped
1 jalepeño pepper, diced (seeds in for extra spicy)
8-12 eggs, beaten
1-2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp pepper
1 cup shredded cheese of you choice
(as usual with this type of cooking, adjust the ratios to your taste)
Before cooking I slice the bacon in bits about 1/4" wide. Drop them in a large cast iron skillet and cook them crispy. Remove half the bacon grease, reserving for later.
Add potatoes and stir in, cover and cook on high for 4 minutes. Stir, place onions and peppers on top and cover for an additional 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, stir and cook covered, stirring every 3-4 minutes until potatoes are done.
If the potatoes do not appear 'greasy' add some reserve bacon fat back. Add eggs all at once, stir only to combine, turn off heat and cover for 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, stir to combine, add cheese over top and cover until cheese melts.
This recipe is sized to feed my family of 8, so reduce accordingly. With the potatoes, the goal is to get a really good brown on them. We dice them quite small (1/4"-3/8" square) and as a result the cook fast. YYMV. There is plenty of residual heat in the pan and food to cook the eggs. Add the salt after the eggs because salting the eggs before/while cooking can make them a little tough.
