Ingredients for Back Yard Barbecued Breakfast

  • Hash Brown
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (removed from casings)
  • Onion
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt And Pepper
  • Bell Pepper

How to Make Back Yard Barbecued Breakfast

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  2. Prepare the foil packet: Spray a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 18x18 inches) with non-stick cooking spray. Add 1 tablespoon of butter.
  3. Prep the ingredients: Open one 32-ounce bag of frozen hash browns. In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs. Finely chop 1/2 medium onion.
  4. Combine ingredients: Add the hash browns, eggs, and chopped onion to the prepared foil packet. Gently mix everything together by squeezing and tossing within the foil.
  5. Season and add sausage: Add 1 pound of your favorite breakfast sausage (removed from casings), 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the mixture. Add 1 more tablespoon of butter on top.
  6. Seal and Grill: Fold the foil over to create a sealed packet, crimping the edges to prevent leaks. Place the packet on the preheated grill. Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning the packet every 5 minutes, until the hash browns are golden brown and the eggs are cooked through. The bag will puff up as it cooks.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill (use tongs to avoid burns). Let it cool slightly before opening and serving. Enjoy your delicious backyard BBQ breakfast!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
