Ever wish on those mornings you are in a rush to get the kids to school, get to work or running errands you could find the time cook a home cooked breakfast for you, your kids or hubby/wife?
I found this gem of a recipe on Pinterest and decided I must try it since Eric is a huge fan of breakfast burritos. I’ve taken the concept of this recipe and completely made it mine by not only simplifying it but adding/taking away things that work for our taste.
The recipe calls for 2 pounds of red potatoes cut up and cooked and while this would be the complete home made way to do it, it is time consuming and dirty’s up extra dishes that really aren’t necessary. I can usually find the store brand frozen O’Brien potatoes for not much more than a bag of potatoes and it cuts down the time to chop, prep and cook the potatoes and uses one pan and utensil. Also, it calls for sausage, ham and bacon and really all of those meats are great if you like them and aren’t budget conscious but I have found added the bacon plus a little extra is more than enough and we don’t miss the rest of the meat it calls for.
These little yummies have gotten the most requests out of anything I’ve ever cooked Eric digs them and even decides to get in and help make them and clean up the mess they make. Oh..WARNING: they do require a lot of dishes so be prepared for cleaning.
’til next time,
