Start with a skillet over the camp stove or fire. You can use either bacon or sausage for the meat. Fry your choice until it’s done and then remove it from the skillet and set it aside for now. If using sausage just fry it in the pan without forming it into patties.
While the meat is frying take this time to cube up a few potatoes. I’ve found one large or two smaller potatoes per person is about the right amount. You can make the cubes large or small, but I prefer about ¼ inch cubes since they’ll fry up quicker and you’ll end up with more crisp edges in the end.
When the potatoes are just starting to brown and soften, add in a couple diced or sliced bell peppers and a diced onion. If you prefer, you can also season the mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder or whatever else you prefer. That said, it’s great even without seasonings.
This is also a good time to break the bacon strips into small bite-sized pieces if that was your meat of choice this time.
Once the potatoes are nicely browned and a fork or spatula will easily push through a piece showing it’s fully cooked, add in several eggs. About two per person is a good mix. You can whip the eggs in a bowl with a spoon or fork and then dump the mixture into the potatoes, or simply break the eggs into the potatoes and stir them into the mixture before they begin to firm up.
Also dump the bacon pieces of sausage, or both, into the mix and stir in. Once the eggs have firmed up among the potatoes and meat, it’s time to serve it up. It goes well with toast or biscuits, too. If you don’t already own one, look in the camping section of your favorite store and pick up a camp stove toaster. It’s a flat disc of metal with four bent wires that interlock to hold up to four pieces of bread. You set the toaster over a camp stove burner or small bed of coals. The bread will only toast on the side facing the middle of the toaster, so be prepared to watch it and flip the pieces so both sides get evenly toasted.
It doesn’t get much simpler than that!
Here’s a great place to enjoy a camp breakfast:
