Hung over? Me too. But that’s beside the point. It’s breakfast time! And when you’re hung over at breakfast time you need several things. You need liquid. You need quiet. You need Tylenol, and you need hot, wholesome Grub! And by hot I don’t mean warm. I mean spicy! Burn that sickness from your body! You can’t be a sissy girl now or you’re gonna spend the rest of the day lying around whining!
This recipe is easy but very filling. And it includes plenty of protein and carbs to get your energy level up quick.
¼ Cup oil
1 Tablespoon butter
¼ Yellow onion (chopped)
1 large bell pepper (chopped)
4 large garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 Jalapeno (finely chopped w/o seeds)
1/2 pound (2 cups) chopped cooked ham (bacon or sausage or both work great too)
2 Cups frozen “Southern Style” hash browns
6 Large eggs
Salt and Pepper to taste
Heat one half of the oil in skillet over medium heat. Add meat and cook well (until golden brown). Lower the heat on skillet to low. Using a large fork or slotted spoon take the meat from the skillet and set aside. Remove any excess oil from the skillet leaving about 2 Tablespoons.
Now melt the butter in the skillet and add chopped pepper. Cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Add chopped onions and garlic and cook for a few more minutes. Now use the fork or slotted spoon to take these from the skillet and set them aside with the meat.
Add the remainder of the oil and bring the heat back up to medium high and add the potatoes. When the potatoes are golden brown lower the heat to low and add the meat and veggies back into the skillet.
Now add the eggs and cook over low heat stirring occasionally until done. Salt and Pepper to taste and Grub!
Goes great with Picante or smothered in green chili!
Prep Time Bloody Mary or 2 Beers (Red of course!)
