Cast Iron Skillet Southwestern Breakfast Casserole
This is a hearty and flavorful breakfast that comes together quickly and easily in a cast iron skillet. One of the terrific things about it is that you can make it in your kitchen or out over a campfire while on an adventure. Here’s how to make a Cast Iron Skillet Southwestern Breakfast Casserole.
Equipment Needed
- cast iron skillet
- measuring cup
- cutting board
- knife
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen hash brown potatoes
- 4 eggs, room temp
- 1 lb bacon
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 jalapeños diced and seeds removed
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup caramelized garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Spray your cast iron skillet with cooking spray, heating it to medium to high temp.
Add the bacon, garlic, peppers and fry until crisp, remove the mix and place to the side.
While the bacon is cooling, pour off some of the bacon grease leaving enough to fry the hash brown potatoes on medium to high heat.
Once almost cooked, add the bacon pepper mix and fold to combine.
Make four pockets and crack one egg into each one.
Top with the shredded cheese, allowing the eggs to cook completely and the cheese to slightly melt.
Cover to thoroughly cook the egg to desired doneness.
If desired add the diced jalapeno pepper on top for garnish.
Serve with salsa and or sour cream as desired.

Do you chop up the garlic cloves after you have caramelized them? Thank you.

After, this helps the flavor to stay better and not burn the garlic.

I'm not much of a breakfast eater but this certainly sounds like I would dig in and enjoy every bite. It has been a while since I used an iron skillet--about time I did!!
