Dutch Oven Mountain Man Breakfast image

Our kids request this meal every time we go camping, and seeing as we have about 15 laying chickens, it's a great way to use up eggs! Please note, this makes a LOT! You may want to consider sharing it with your camping friends or, if you're like our family and enjoy leftovers, just save the leftovers for the day you're leaving the campground and need a quick breakfast without a lot of mess and fuss. You can easily re-heat it in a microwave or in a skillet over low heat. Feel free to add more spices and personalize this recipe to suite your taste buds!

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound mild pork sausage (such as Jimmy DeanĀ®)
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (2 pound) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
12 eggs, beaten
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals.
  • Cook and stir the sausage, onion, and garlic in a 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven with lid, raised over the coals to medium-high heat, until the sausage is no longer pink and the onion is tender. Stir in the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and hash brown potatoes until evenly mixed. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the hash browns are hot and the peppers are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the top of the potatoes, allowing them to sink into the potatoes. Cover the Dutch oven, and place 6 to 9 coals underneath, and 12 to 18 on top. Allow to bake until the eggs are firm, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, cover, and continue cooking until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.

This casserole was just okay. I wasn't impressed with the flavor of the sausage. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, so I substituted ground beef in this recipe. It turned out great! The potatoes were crispy and the eggs were fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The potatoes were raw and the sausage was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a lifesaver on a busy morning. I threw everything in the Dutch oven and popped it in the oven. An hour later, breakfast was ready! My kids loved it.

Not a fan. The potatoes were undercooked and the sausage was bland. Maybe I did something wrong, but I won't be making this again.

Easy to make and so tasty! I used a cast iron skillet instead of a Dutch oven and it turned out great. My husband especially loved the crispy potatoes on top.
