Mountain Man
Breakfast
1/2 lb bacon (or pre-cooked sausage)
1 Med onion
2 lb. bag of hash brown potatoes ( thawed)
1/2 pound of grated cheddar
1 dozen 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 separate 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. Serves 6.
