INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation Steps:
Preheat the griddle or cast iron skillets over medium heat for a few minutes.
Gather all Ingredients from the cooler.
Prepare Ingredients: Crack eggs into a bowl (if scrambling), season with salt and pepper, and whisk.
Cooking Instructions:
1. Start with Bacon or Sausage (Griddle or Skillet):
Place bacon strips or sausage patties/links on the hot griddle or skillet.
Cook bacon for 4–5 minutes per side, or until crispy. For sausage, cook until browned on both sides and fully cooked through (160°F for sausage).
Move cooked meat to a paper towel-lined plate to drain grease.
Leave a small amount of grease on the griddle/skillet for flavor.
2. Cook Hash Browns:
Add a small amount of cooking oil or butter to the griddle/skillet if needed (or use the leftover bacon grease).
Spread shredded hash browns in an even layer or place hash brown patties directly on the griddle.
Press lightly with a spatula for a crispy texture.
Cook for 4–6 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 4–6 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Move to serving plate, tent with foil/cover to keep warm.
3. Finish with Eggs:
For fried eggs, lightly grease the skillet or griddle. Crack eggs directly onto the surface. Cook sunny-side up or flip for over-easy, over-medium, or over-hard as desired.
For scrambled eggs, add a small pat of butter or oil to the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Stir gently with a spatula until they reach your preferred consistency (soft or firm).
Season with salt and pepper, and add optional toppings like cheese or chives.
SERVE: Plate the hash browns, bacon/sausage, and eggs.
