Smoked Sausage Breakfast Skillet

Smoked Sausage Breakfast Skillet, smoked sausage, potatoes, green peppers, red peppers, and onion come together for a hearty breakfast.

This simple breakfast skillet is made with smoked sausage, green pepper, red pepper, potatoes, and onion. The combination of these ingredients not only makes a hearty breakfast, but the flavors fit well together.

When making this recipe keep the yolks runny. I love the flavor of the yolk with all the other ingredients. If you’re not a fan of runny yolks, you can try adding scrambled eggs on top of the skillet.

This recipe also works for dinner. I love breakfast for dinner, and this hearty skillet is perfect for dinner if that is what you like.

Helpful tips

• Russet or Yukon gold are the best potatoes to use for this recipe.
• Use a large skillet for this recipe to fit all of the ingredients.
• Do not add all the vegetables at once. Sautee the potatoes by themself before adding the rest of the vegetables. The potatoes will take the longest to cook.
• Try to cut the vegetables uniformly, so that they cook evenly.
• I like to fry the eggs in a separate skillet. The eggs cook more evenly this way.
• Don’t over-fry the egg, keep the yolk runny. It makes this skillet even more yummy.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
• Leftovers can be heated in the microwave until the desired temperature.
• I would suggest if you are going to have leftovers wait and make the eggs when you are going to eat the leftovers.
