How to Make Country Breakfast Skillet

  1. Cook 6 slices of bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, crumble, and set aside.
  2. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 1 green bell pepper, chopped, and 2 cups of cubed potatoes to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, then cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and slightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  5. Make 6 wells in the potato mixture using the back of a spoon.
  6. Crack 6 eggs, one into each well.
  7. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until eggs are set to your liking.
  8. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the crumbled bacon.
  9. If using an oven-safe skillet, broil for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese and crisp bacon further (optional).
