Cowboy Breakfast Skillet

Step 1

In a large skillet cook bacon until crisp over medium heat. Remove bacon, but keep 2 - 3 tablespoons bacon drippings in the skillet. Crumble bacon and set aside.

Step 2

Add potatoes, salt and pepper to the drippings in the skillet, cook and stir for 2 minutes over medium heat.

Step 3

Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are browned and tender, about 12 - 15 minutes. About 10 minutes into this time add 1 tablespoon of butter at a time where the skillet is dry as needed.

Step 4

Make 5 wells in the potato mixture. Break one egg in each well. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until eggs are completely set.

Step 5

Sprinkle with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon and serve warm right out of the skillet.
