1 lb sausage (pork, turkey or ground beef)
1 medium onion, minced
2 Tbs Olive oil, optional
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced
12 eggs, beaten
1 jar salsa
6 Pita breads, medium
Pre-heat DO (@12 coals on the bottom).
Brown sausage drain fat, saving 2 TBS. Stir in onion, garlic, pepper, sautee with
sausage.
Add eggs, sausage fat and cook together until eggs are scrambled.
Spoon into Pita Pockets top with salsa to taste.
Hints:
Brown sausage and sautee garlic onions and peppers in advance, refrigerate or freeze in
ziploc bags.
Add 2 TBS of Olive Oil when cooking in camp in lieu of sausage fat. This will save time
and reduce the sausage fat that will need to dispose of.
Ingredients for ~6 people:
1/2 lb bacon (or pre-cooked sausage)
1 med onion
2 lb bag of hash brown potatoes
1/2 pound of grated cheddar
1 doz eggs
1 small jar of salsa (optional)
The following requires 6-9 bottom coals and 12 -15 top coals:
Pre-heat 12" Dutch Oven.
Slice bacon and onion into small pieces and brown in the bottom of the DO until onions
are clear.
Stir in the hash brown potatoes and cover; remove cover and stir occasionally to brown and
heat potatoes (15-20 minutes)
Scramble the eggs in a seperate container and pour the mixture over the hash browns. Cover
and cook until eggs start to set.(10 - 15 minutes)
Sprinkle grated cheese over egg mixture, cover and continue heating until eggs are
completely set and cheese is melted.
Optional: cover cheese/egg mixture with a small jar (~ 1 cup) of SALSA.
Cover and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Slice and server like quiche. (Real men don't eat quiche but I sure get lots of requests
to cook up the Mountain Man.)
Cooking times will vary with the weather and your state of awake but its almost impossible to screw up.
I am the Lodge Staff Advisor for the Ashwanchi Kinta Lodge in Meridian, Mississippi we recently won first place at our section conclave for a breakfast dutch oven meal you may be intrested in. It is easy and simple to clean up. We call it breakfast Pizza.
All you need is:
biscuit dough, pre-made from the store or homemade if you have the time
eggs
ham, bacon, and sausage, your preference or all three
cheese
First stretch the biscuit dough thin a spread it over the bottom of the dutch oven so
none of the oven can be seen.
Then pour a small layer of scrambled eggs over the dough.
Add your preference of ham, bacon or sausage or all on top of the eggs if you use bacon
pre-cook it.
Then spread the cheese over that and cook for 10 to 15 minutes and the Scouts will eat it
up.
It works for us and was given to our lodge by a Scoutmaster and his troop; credit must go to Troop 29 of Union, Mississippi. Happy Cooking.
