Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Potatoes

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced potatoes in a single layer.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Step 2: Brown the Sausage

In the same skillet, add the ground beef sausage.
Cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through—about 6–8 minutes.
Drain excess fat if needed and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies

Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet.
Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
Stir in spinach or kale and cook just until wilted.
Set aside with the sausage.

Step 4: Scramble the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
Pour into a lightly greased skillet and scramble over medium heat until just set.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Assemble the Bowls

Start with a layer of crispy potatoes.
Add scrambled eggs and cooked sausage.
Top with sautéed veggies.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese while everything is still warm so it melts.
Add your favorite toppings like avocado, green onions, or hot sauce.

Notes

Use Leftovers – Great way to repurpose last night’s veggies or roasted potatoes.
Cheese Options – Try Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or mozzarella for a twist.
Make It Spicy – Add jalapeños or crushed red pepper for heat.
Low-Carb Swap – Use cauliflower hash instead of potatoes.
Batch Cook – Make everything ahead and store in containers for grab-and-go meals.
