Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Skillet Meal Recipe + Time for Mom

As much as I really don’t like to admit it, my toddler is picky.  But not in the sense that you may think.  She will eat (or try) everything that you put in front of her, but even if she likes it, she just picks at it.  A bite here or a bite there. So when I find something that she truly loves I’m faced with the decision to keep making it over and over or just save the recipe and bring it out every so often. Much to my surprise, when I made this Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Skillet Meal, I was totally shocked that she not only devoured what I gave her, but she asked for more, and even more surprised when she asked for thirds.  Blown away!

The other week I went to our local Amish farmer’s market and the breakfast sausage was on sale.  It’s the first thing you see as you walk into our market and I love getting it.  It’s delectable and nothing like you taste in a traditional store. It’s tenderness almost crumbles right in your mouth.  I knew as soon as I saw it, I had to buy some and attempt to make a breakfast skillet with it.
Before we started eating a healthier lifestyle, I would buy these frozen skillet meals and always say that I bet they were crazy easy to make.  I was amazed at just how easy it was.  Seriously, I had dinner prepped and ready in under 45 minutes. It’s an extremely healthy meal and a great way to get a ton of vegetables into your child’s diet.

The add-in possibilities are pretty endless, but in addition to the sausage, egg, and cheese, we did potatoes, red and green peppers, mushrooms, and spinach.  Onions, garlic, bacon, would all be great options.

Like I said in the beginning, Skibbles ate it up!  She absolutely loves this stuff! It was great knowing that she was getting so many amazing foods in one meal.  We had this for dinner when I made it the first time, but I’m actually making this again this morning!

And now it’s time for a little confession.  I love ketchup on breakfast food that has potatoes in it!  Please, please, tell me I’m not alone!? Am I?

 

 

Ingredients: 
1/2 lb breakfast sausage (fresh from market is best)
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup red pepper, diced (1 large pepper)
1 cup green pepper, diced (1 large pepper)
1/2 cup mushrooms, diced
1 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Ground Pepper
1 teaspoon Italian Herb Seasoning, grinded
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

*Note:  This recipe is enough for 4, but could easily be doubled for a great brunch. 

Directions: 
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add cubed potatoes and cook until golden brown, stirring often, roughly 10 mins.  While cooking, add pepper and Italian seasoning.  Once golden brown, add in sausage and peppers and stir to combine.  Let cook until sausage is browned, stirring occasionally, 10-12 more minutes. Add beaten eggs and stir like you would be scrambling eggs, so they harden up. Add in spinach and mushrooms, combine, and cook another 2-3 minutes until wilted down.  Top with cheese and combine and cook until cheese has melted.  Serve immediately.
