Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 package sausage smoked, turkey, etc (about 7 oz)
  • 2 to 3 large sweet potato peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper roughly chopped
  • 1 small onion roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 eggs

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Method
 

  1. Wash all of the vegetables. Peel and diced the sweet potatoes. Roughly chop the pepper and onion. Then cut the sausage into quarters.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add in some butter or bacon grease. Add the peppers and onions and saute for 1 minute.
  3. Add another tsp of butter. Then add the sweet potatoes and sausage to the skillet. Cook about 8 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are done. The smaller they are the faster they will cook. If necessary, add a few tbsp of chicken stock or water and cover to get them tender.
  4. EGGS: You can cook the eggs in the pan. Make a hole (or four) in the mixture and add a little butter. Then crack an egg in the hole, cover and cook until done. Or you can just scramble some eggs in another pan and add on top!
