Cast-Iron Breakfast Hash with Sausage, Potatoes, and Eggs
This one-skillet breakfast hash combines sausage, potatoes, and eggs in a single cast-iron pan. It is practical for a campsite or RV morning and requires only basic ingredients.
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
1/2 pound breakfast sausage, 2–3 medium potatoes (diced), 1 small onion (diced), 1 bell pepper (optional, diced), 4 eggs, 1–2 tablespoons oil or butter, salt, pepper, and optional hot sauce or cheese.
Method
Heat a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up, to 160°F for pork or beef sausage (165°F for poultry sausage), checked with a food thermometer. Remove the sausage and set aside, leaving the drippings. Add oil or butter if needed, then the diced potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and starting to brown (10–15 minutes). Add the onion and pepper and cook a few more minutes. Return the sausage to the pan and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Make four wells in the hash and crack an egg into each. Cover the skillet and cook until both egg whites and yolks are firm (or finish under a broiler if available). Top with cheese if desired and serve. USDA guidance FDA egg-safety guidance
The potatoes take the longest; starting them in the hot fat helps them brown. If your stove runs cool, give the potatoes extra time before adding the eggs. Leftovers reheat well in the same skillet.
