Enjoy this Dutch Oven Mountain Man Breakfast, a delightful blend of ingredients perfect for camping.
Equipment
- 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven
Ingredients
- 1 pound mild pork sausage such as Jimmy Dean®
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper chopped
- 2 pounds frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
- 12 large eggs beaten
- 16 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals. Place a grate over the fire.
- Place a 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven onto the grate. Add sausage, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until sausage is browned and crumbly and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in hash browns and bell peppers until well mixed. Cook, stirring occasionally, until hash browns are hot and peppers are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Pour beaten eggs into the Dutch oven, allowing them to seep down to the bottom.
- Cover the Dutch oven and place it directly onto 5 to 10 hot coals. Place another 12 to 18 hot coals on top of the Dutch oven lid. Let cook until eggs are firm, about 40 minutes.
- Open the lid and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Cover and continue to cook until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
