Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 2 breakfast sausage links, sliced
- 4 large eggs
Vegetables & Others
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups frozen diced hash browns
- ½ avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
Dairy & Oils
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings & Condiments
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons salsa (optional)
- Hot sauce to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- Cook the sausage: In the same skillet, add the sliced breakfast sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside with the bacon. Drain excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon for cooking.
- Sauté vegetables: Add olive oil to the skillet and sauté the diced onion and red bell pepper for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Cook the hash browns: Add the frozen diced hash browns to the skillet with the vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the hash browns are golden, crispy, and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Scramble the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. In a separate pan over medium heat, scramble the eggs gently until they are just set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the crispy hash browns evenly between two bowls. Top each with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, browned sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, avocado slices, and optional salsa. Drizzle with hot sauce as desired.
- Serve: Serve the loaded breakfast bowls warm for a satisfying and flavorful meal that combines protein, vegetables, and comforting breakfast staples.
Notes
- Customize the bowl with additional veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for extra nutrients and flavor.
- Swap bacon and sausage for plant-based alternatives to make this recipe vegetarian.
- Use low-fat cheese or egg whites for a lighter version.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce and salsa to your preferred spice level.
