How to Make Breakfast Mess

  1. Brown 1 lb sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon.
  2. Drain off excess grease.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 bell pepper (sliced), and 2 medium potatoes (diced). Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  5. Preheat your broiler to high.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk 6 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the sausage and vegetables.
  7. Cook until the eggs are set, about 5-7 minutes, gently lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  8. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the top.
  9. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
