 Whether you want a delicious breakfast or make this for “brinner” this recipe for Potato Sausage and Pepper Breakfast Skillet will have your stomach satisfied. 

Potato Sausage and Pepper Breakfast Skillet

Do you love breakfast as much as I do? I could honestly eat it 24 hours a day. Every weekend I always make a hot breakfast that always consist of at least eggs and potatoes. I try to switch it up every now and then and surprise my husband with a new breakfast recipe. He too loves breakfast. However, he isn’t the biggest fan of grinner. You know, breakfast for dinner. I on the other hand LOVE me some brinner.

Potato Sausage and Pepper Breakfast Skillet

We rarely go out to breakfast, but when we do dine out my husband always gets one of those meaty skillets. You know the ones that have hash browns and full of meat. So I decided to make a breakfast skillet for him. I defrosted a few breakfast sausage patties, broke them up in the skillet and then added some diced bell peppers and onions. Once the sausage was cooked I added in a bag of hash brown potatoes. I always keep a bag or two on hand–you can find them in the refrigerated section in the grocery store. I then mixed the sausage and peppers in with the hash browns and let it fry on one side for five minutes. I flipped it over and let it fry another five minutes, turned off the heat, and topped it with shredded mozzarella cheese. I figured I was going with the Italian theme and well, that’s the only type of shredded cheese I had on hand. I topped his skillet with a few fried eggs and breakfast was served. Even better, the baby was taking his morning nap, so we got to have breakfast in silence! It was like the old days, minus the baby toys spread all around our house and the monitor blaring in between us.

If you love breakfast skillets when you go out to eat, you should definitely think about making one of these at home the next time you make breakfast (or breakfast for dinner).
