Cast Iron Skillet Man Breakfast

Hey ATS, here is one of my favorites. You can do this anywhere cooking can be done.
1-/3 of an onion chopped
1-good sized potato cut in small square-ish chunks
1/3-green bell pepper chopped
2-eggs
4-? strips of chunk cut bacon
Get you handy dandy skillet and set it at medium heat on the stove/low flame on the fire.
Oil the skillet and prepare your veggies while the skillet heats.
Once heated toss in the veggies and the bacon then give it a good stir.

Here is the important part, don't let the food stick! you need to man the stove for a bit and stir it often.
Once you get it all cooked to just about done, break the eggs in there and mix that up. Keep stirring so the egg doesn't burn.
This is a good time to add your seasonings. After it's cooked the way you like, get it off the heat, on the plate and in your mouth!

Easy, filling meal. Made me hungry. Salsa would be good on that...

a reply to: tinker9917

Salsa IS good on that.

so is srirracha

a reply to: EyesOpenMouthShut

Sounds delicious, hardly greasy at all.

It would probably be good with salsa.

Here's one:

Baloney and cheese roll-ups.

Take a few slices of Baloney.

the same number of slices of cheese.

Yellow mustard.

Unwrap cheese slices and place one on each slice of Baloney.
(note: cheese slices are optional)

Roll it up and stick a toothpick through it .

Dip roll-up into mustard and enjoy.

Best eaten standing at the sink and it makes clean-up a snap.

For a change of pace, try salsa instead of mustard.

PS Save toothpick for after.

We do cast iron suppers for the whole families and some of the time its like that. Hot Italian sausages are a good substitute for the bacon.

Great post! I have a mild obsession with all things cast iron. I started replacing my 'pricey nonstick pots and pans' a few years ago, one pan at a time, and I now cook almost exclusively in cast iron (for some reason I can't justify to myself using it to boil water for noodles).

Anyway, your recipe looks delicious!

I like to do a variation of a recipe similar to yours, but once I've sautéed the meat and veggies, I throw in the eggs, top with a bit of cheese (sometimes) and bake it.

I guess they call that a frittata? I suppose that's a bit less "manly" sounding than your 'man breakfast'. LOL.

Thanks for sharing! I get so happy when I see the words 'cast iron'.

So do I!
Viva La Cast Iron Skillet
I love it. Screw diets creating the non stick rubbish, dose up on olive oil or butter and it enhances the food.

OP greta recipe

Cast iron is the way to go, except like you, i just cant bring myself boil water in one. thats what the stock pot is for.
I'm not sure if its called a Fritatta or not but, semi cooking then baking any mixed food always seems to turn out great.
Not like a rolled mystery meat bologna slice with fake cheese on a toothpick this one guy mentioned


Thanks, Zazzafrazz (hope i spelled that right)

YOU are a culinary GENIUS! I like the idea of standing by the kitchen sink for an easy cleanup! LOL! and let me buy you a couple of beers!

Thanks OP!

I like to chop of potatoes and fry til soft and crispy, throw in peppers, onions, and crack a few eggs. Scramble the eggs and mix it all together, then push everything together into the center of the pan. Flatten the mix out, like a pancake shape. Take pancake batter and pour evenly over the mix so the pancake forms around the mix. Try to flip to finish the top of the cake and you have yourself a mancake

Sorry it took a while, i have a bad habit of not checking U2U and getting sidetracked.
I'll probably post more of the better or weirder camp recipes in the future.
Squirrel is delicious btw, opossum. . i can't bring myself to eat one
