Instructions

1. Cook the Sausage

1. Cook bacon in the same skillet until crispy.

2. Remove, drain, and chop into pieces.

3. Leave 1 tbsp bacon grease in the skillet.

1. Add olive oil to the skillet with the bacon grease.

2. Add potatoes (or hash browns) in a single layer.

3. Season with garlic powder, paprika, and salt.

4. Scramble the Eggs

1. Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

2. Melt butter in a small skillet.

3. Add eggs and cook low & slow, stirring gently.

FAQs

What’s inside?

Fluffy eggs, crispy potatoes, sausage, bacon, onions, peppers, and melty cheese.

Can I freeze them?

How do I reheat?

Are there vegetarian options?

What kind of cheese?

Yes, they freeze beautifully for easy meal prep and quick breakfasts.

Simply unwrap the burrito and microwave for 1-2 minutes or heat in a skillet until warmed through.

You can easily swap sausage and bacon for extra veggies or plant-based sausage alternatives.

We use melty cheddar cheese for that perfect gooey texture.

These breakfast burritos are my go-to for busy mornings—warm, hearty, and just like homemade!
