Mountain Man Dutch Oven Breakfast
If you are looking for a hearty meal for your next camping trip, I have you covered! This Mountain man/woman breakfast is awesome!
Servings: 6
Equipment
- dutch oven
- small bowl
- disposable 10-inch round pan, I couldn't find one, so I bought a square on and squished it in.
- 40-50 coals if using briquets
Ingredients
- 1 pound tater tots or hashbrowns
- 4 ounces ground breakfast sausage, cooked. or other breakfast meat of course. I precook mine at home and chill it. Then at the campsite, I just add it, no extra time and fuel for this.
- 12-16 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup grated cheese
Instructions
- Start your charcoal or wood for cooking. This takes awhile to heat it, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to start it.
- I used a disposable pan. If you don't want to do this, place the ingredients right in the dutch oven.
- line the bottom with your tater tots or hashbrowns.
- Add your sausage on top.
- Mix your eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Pour it over the hashbrowns and sausage.
- Top it with cheese.
- Place your pan into the dutch oven. The cover with the lid.
- Add 20 coals to the bottom of the fire pit. Spread them evenly to the size of your dutch oven.
- Place the dutch oven directly on the coals.
- Then add the remaining 20 coals on top.
- Let this cook for about 25 minutes and check.
- If it needs to continue cooking, replace the lid and add more coals as needed.
- When it is done, remove from the fire.
- Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it!
