?Favorite "housekeeping" breakfast

[backinblue]

Gotta feed 6 with a fridge, cooktop, microwave....time and clean-up count! What is your favorite?

Breakfast in a bag! Nothing simpler. Make them up in advance; Crack eggs, add precooked meat (bacon, ham, etc) into a small freezer bag, keep cold. Boil the for a few minutes till the eggs look done. We do it all the time for deer camp. Don't try to do more than one 3 egg "omelette" per bag, so 1 bag pp per day.

Only thing you have to watch is not to let the bags touch the side of the pan during boiling, which can be a little tricky.

If you use paper plates, cleanup is one fork pp! And of course everyone should have thier own fork anyway and be responsible for it's cleanlieness! (or lack thereof:)

+1 Just make sure you use a good quality FREEZER bag.

Skillet Scramble. Brown sausage and hashbrowns in cast iron skillet. Move that to sides of pan and scramble eggs in middle. Can spice up with peppers, onions etc. Paper plates and all you have to clean is a pan and spatula.

The bag idea is great for convenience and I have done it a number of times - but I never got much flavor with the boiling deal and not sure how healthy boiling plastic is

I agree, super easy and you can use leftovers from the night before for meat!

Biscuits and Gravy!

Jimmy Dean HOT sausage, Cook till brown.

Add whole milk, mix in flower, stir until gravy thickens.

Serve over biscuits.

Doesn't get any better!

20minutes cook time.

Easy clean up.

1 Medium onion

1 medium red pepper

1 1/2 to 2 cups of coly-jack

12 eggs

1/2 to 1 cup of milk

salt and pepper

1. spray a little pam in crock pot

2. Put a layer of hashbrowns on bottom

3. Add a layer of ham,onion,pepper cheese in order

4. Repeat layers, ending with a layer of cheese.

5. Beat eggs, milk,salt and pepper together

6. Pour over the layers, cover and turn on low

8. Cook for 8-10 hours(over night and you wake up its ready)

Oooh, that sounds like an egg bake in a crok! Nice

On opening weakend at my cabin, I like to bring a bag of fresh morels. I catch a few perch and then I dice up an onion, my morels, perch and saute in butter. AS that sautes, I whip a few eggs and a little milk and add it to the mix. I scramble this mixture and when its done I add a little shredded cheese over the top. I serve this with wheat toast. I'm almost in tears of joy just thinking about it. Try it, you'll like it. WFT

Instead of spraying Pam in the crockpot as in Ducker's recipe, put a "oven bag" in the crock pot and just lift it out when you're done and throw it away. Clean up, done! I think they now make crock pot bags for this purpose too.

I've had boil-in-bag omelettes before ... they're okay ... kind of lacking in flavor imo, kind of got a plastic taste to them imo.

I prefer a skillet breakfast --- having to wash 1 or 2 skillets is not a time-consuming process. Use one skillet for hashbrowns, use the other one for the meat then the eggs - it's quick, it's easy, and it tastes better.

Last year we made pork tacos on the grill on Friday night and used the leftover meat for the omelets in a bag on Saturday. So good!!

Something doesn't add up here...How do you have left over meat after taco night!?!

[JFan02]

I know, I know. My buddy had a great recipe for pork in a cast iron pot on the grill. He made sure we had extra and I am glad he did!

I need TrophyEyes to back me up on this one!

You can also put eggs in a coffee mug and then put it in the microwave to "scramble" them. Works pretty slick.

Here's one way to do it, but there are more:

Breakfast burritos are super easy and don't require dishes. Just scramble up some eggs with some browned spicy pork sausage, add some diced jalapenos. Stuff it in a tortilla with some cheese, salsa and sour cream.

I like to make home done Sausage, egg and cheese Mc Muffins. Quick and easy and ptotien packed and 2 will fill a guy up til lunch time. Oh and some OJ.

I know it's not home made, but Jimmy Dean makes skillets in a bag, frozen, hashbrowns, peppers, onions, and sausage, all ready to go, you just fry it up for a while add eggs and your done. I bring them into the boundry waters every time I go. You could always make your own as stated earlier. The skillet thing is just super easy. I don't remember but if you have an oven an egg bake is super easy as well.

I prepare, freeze, and vacu-seal most of my meal items when I am planning sleeper trips. Mashed potatoes, calico beans, sausage gravy, etc. Just heat the bag in hot water, clip the corner and squeeze onto plates. Toss the bag in the garbage and dishes are done!

That said, bisquits and gravy are an easy favorite. If you want to dirty a skillet, our annual camping breakfast is "sliders." Brown a pound of Jimmy Dean sausage in the pan, the throw in a dozen eggs and stir until cooked. Scoop it out onto warm tortillas, add salsa or hot sauce, and let 'em slide right down!

Crappie I use the pint size bags and get a good quality bag. Three eggs about 12 min.

+1 it's the easiest way to go and not a mess.
