This morning I whipped up my version of the mountain man breakfast at my family camp out. Here's what I used.
3 pounds of bacon cut into 2" pieces. Really only needed 2 pounds but a couple of my great nephews got into it and ate about a pound. Ages 3 and 6 so couldn't tell them no.
2 pounds of ground breakfast sausage
8 medium sized potatoes, boiled and cubed
2 dozen eggs, beaten
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese
I fried the bacon in the dutch oven using 15 pieces of charcoal underneath
When the bacon was done I fried the potatoes in the bacon grease, adding some fresh coals
While the potatoes were frying I browned the sausage in a skillet on the camp stove
When the potatoes were done I dumped the bacon in with them, stirring to mix
Dump the sausage over the potato/bacon mixture
Pour the eggs over the top
I sat the dutch oven on a bed of fresh coals, about 12, put the lid on and put 15 coals on top
After about 20 minutes I added the cheese and put the lid back on.I removed the oven from the bottom coals and moved the bottom coals to the top.
About 5 more minutes and it was done.
This one turned out perfect with most going back for seconds.
Next time maybe I'll add some onion and maybe mushrooms and I had one request for some country gravy to pour over the top.
This evening we're grilling 60 chicken halves and I'm doing a peach cobbler for dessert
