Easy Eggs, Sausage, and Hash Browns Skillet

If you need an easy, one-skillet, holiday breakfast or brunch recipe that’s sure to be a hit, this ought to do the trick.

Or if you just need a hearty, comfort food, breakfast recipe that’s worth getting out of bed for, here you go.

Drippy eggs, juicy sausage meatballs, tender hash browns, sweet Vidalia onions, a hint of garlic, and crisp-tender bell peppers all cook together in one skillet and it’s ready in 30 minutes.

Rather than classic eggs, bacon, and hash browns, I swapped out the bacon for Johnsonville Classic Italian Style Meatballs. They’re pre-cooked, so convenient, and like Johnsonville’s sausage links and ground Italian sausage, they come in a variety of flavors and spices, giving you more flavor and saving you time in the kitchen.

Not only did my family go nuts for this as breakfast, they loved it as brinner (breakfast-for-dinner). It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want to get something warm and satisfying on the table in a hurry.

• ▢ about 6 large eggs
• ▢ ⅓ cup bell peppers, seeded and diced small, optional for garnishing (I used a combination of red and yellow peppers)

Instructions 

• To a large skillet, add the olive oil, onions, and sauté for about 8 minutes over medium-high heat, or until onions are lightly golden browned. Stir and flip intermittently.
• Add the hash browns, and a bit more olive oil if necessary, and sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until hash browns are cooked through and lightly golden browned. Stir and flip intermittently.
• Add the garlic, and sauté for 1 minute. Stir intermittently.
• Add the meatballs, and sauté for 1 minute, or until meatballs are warmed through. Stir intermittently.
• Turn the heat to low, add the eggs evenly spaced around the skillet, and cook covered for about 5 minutes or until whites are set and yolks are as set as desired. Note that the eggs will continue to cook and firm up off the heat so if you like runny yolks, err on the side of less cooking time.
• Optionally garnish with the peppers, parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately. Dish is best warm and fresh.
