Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 8 ounces breakfast sausage
• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 small yellow onion
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small cubes. Dice the green bell pepper and yellow onion. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Drain excess grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the diced potatoes and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp (about 8-10 minutes). If needed, add olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the diced green bell pepper, yellow onion, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook until softened, 3-4 minutes, then mix everything together in the skillet.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and black pepper until well blended. Pour the mixture into the skillet over the vegetables and potatoes.

Step 7

Gently scramble the eggs, folding them into the potato and vegetable mixture as they cook. Cook until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the cooked sausage and crumbled bacon. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and allow it to melt.

Step 9

Garnish with the chopped green parts of the green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty country breakfast!
