Sausage, Pepper, & Potato Hash

This is a delicious & easy meal that comes together really quick! When I was young & single I used to make something like this, but with canned potatoes & veggies.

Ingredients-

3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 lb potatoes chopped into bite sized pieces
14 oz turkey kielbasa  (I used fit & active turkey polska kielbasa)
2 bell peppers chopped
1 medium onion chopped
I prepped all my ingredients first but you could easily chop the sausage & veggies while the potatoes are frying.
Heat olive oil & butter in a pan over medium high heat. Add potatoes & cook for about 15 minutes. Try to only stir it a few times so they don’t fall apart as they soften.
Once they are nice & crispy remove with a slotted spoon & put in a bowl. Set aside.
Toss the sausage into the same pan & cook a couple minutes.
Add peppers & onions & cook until they are nice & tender.
Add potatoes & cook another minute or so.


Enjoy!
We like ketchup on it!

Sausage, Egg & Cheese Hash Brown Cups

INGREDIENTS:

20 oz refrigerated shredded hash brown potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes or Reser's)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons salt (plus a little more to taste for the eggs)
Black pepper, to taste
4 chicken breakfast sausage links (I used Wegmans Fully Cooked Breakfast with Sage Chicken Sausage)
6 large eggs
4 egg whites
6 tablespoons shredded 2% cheddar cheese


DIRECTIONS:

 Preheat the oven to 400. Coat a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray
In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, olive oil, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Scoop the hash browns evenly into each of the muffin tins and then press the hash browns down into the cups and up the sides to form a well. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
Cut the sausages up into small bite sized pieces. Mist a skillet with cooking spray and brown the sausage pieces over medium heat until browned.
In another large bowl, combine the eggs and egg whites and whisk together until thoroughly beaten. Add a bit of salt & pepper to taste.
Evenly sprinkle the browned sausage pieces and shredded cheese into each hash brown cup and then spoon the egg mixture over top of each cup. Place the cups back into the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until the eggs are set and cups are golden.
