• Spatula

• Foil or parchment paper (for wrapping)

Ingredients

Protein

• 1 lb breakfast sausage

• 6 slices bacon, cooked & chopped

Instructions

1. Cook the Sausage

• Heat a skillet over medium-high.

• Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.

• Remove and set aside.

2. Cook the Bacon

• Cook bacon in the same skillet until crispy.

• Remove, drain, and chop into pieces.

• Leave 1 tbsp bacon grease in the skillet.

3. Cook the Potatoes

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

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

• Season with garlic powder, paprika, and salt.

• Cook 8–10 minutes until crispy and golden.

• Add diced onion and peppers; cook 3–4 minutes more.

4. Scramble the Eggs

• Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

• Melt butter in a small skillet.

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

• Remove while still soft — they finish cooking in the burrito.
