Baked Potato Bacon Egg Breakfast Skillet is hearty, easy to make, and delicious. It’s creamy, gooey, salty, and extremely flavorful! Favorite ingredients such as potatoes, bacon, eggs, and cheese can easily be breakfast or dinner.
We love to have breakfast for breakfast and breakfast for dinner. It’s easy when you can grab a bag of Ore-Ida® Heinz® Hash Browns as a starter! I find these at Wal-Mart on the frozen food aisle then go to Ore-Ida® website for recipes. They have breakfast, entrée, grilling, sides and appetizer recipes for you to choose from.
Baked Potato Bacon Egg Breakfast Skillet
I made this Baked Potato Bacon Egg Breakfast Skillet for brinner, or breakfast for dinner, one night and the boys loved it! They love to have breakfast for dinner and I love that we get to catch up our day and share a meal together. Dinner is the only meal during the week that the whole family gets to eat together. Our family time starts with preparation since the boys like to help make ‘breakfast’.
Can I just say this is “oh my stars” good!!!! One bite of the creamy eggs, gooey cheese and salty bacon, oh my, you’ll find yourself going back for one bite after another. The potatoes give it structure and the green peppers and onions a unique flavor. I liked the fact by using the Ore-Ida® Potatoes O’Brien which already has the peppers and onions in it, saves a lot of prep time that you don’t have to waste chopping additional vegetables before getting this in the oven.
Another tip that spends up the process is microwaving the potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes.

This looks really good! I wanted to pin it, but Pinterest says it’s SPAM? I dunno. Sorry!

It seems to be working now. Clearly, it’s not spam.
Carol at Wild Goose Tea says
Egg dishes like this rate an A+ in my life. They are easy and make a great breakfast. But in addition egg dishes like this heat up so well in the microwave. Sooooo I have tasty leftovers to take to work for lunch, which is a big bennie in my life.
